TRANSFIGURE
only you and i know
your secret longing
to be a cover girl in vogue
you hide it all the while
like da vinci
behind a mona lisa smile
you've tried for years to quell
the mind games behind
the fairy godmother's spell
still you fancy going to town
dressed as cinderella
wearing a versace gown
you've closeted the stick horse
you jockeyed about for pedigree
as an intrusive curse
what you really wish
is to sashay the catwalk shaking
your tits and touché
you worry what others
may have to say
but why be bothered
why be troubled about the cost
of your makeover
when it's what you want most
to go on acting epicene
is far more painful
than being a beauty queen
