Hourglass

Hhe shutter clicks and the daydream mother fakes it
With the perfect shape, designed for wanting
A nameless taste takes hold across the nation
The boys salivate and all the girls ape it
Seasonally redefined
I try but cannot look away
Hourglass

But glossies fade and the lens is paid to wander
As the sands shift from top to bottom
And the airbrushed grace that kissed her face finds a younger mate
And a million vets of manipulated passion wrinkle on
Seasonally redefined
I try but cannot look away
Hourglass.
