Transfigure

 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
