Perfectionism next to her

A green froth bubbles in her

cup and I sneak a sip while she

files her nails and whispers into

her phone, it's gooey and sizzles on

my tongue but it doesn't burn as

badly as I expected,

it does seep deep into my soul

though, and settles in the pit of

my shoes - for when you aren't

who you'd choose for your own

dodgeball team, what's the point?

No one points their fingers at her,

with her white-gold blonde hair and

her perfect perfect teeth you'd love

to pull from her pretty face,

face it, you couldn't be her secretary

in a perfect world.
