To a Young Swiss Army Doll (15 Nov 2008)

a doll
to a young girl
with her eyes proclaiming euphoria
the eyes were dissimilar
one set green
the other brown
the doll
to the young girl
was a symbol
a notion
that some greater beauty could be possessed
a swiss army knife
to a young girl
with her eyes proclaiming misery
the knife the girl's companion
one mind sharp
the other cold
the knife
to the young girl
was a release
a surrogate to the thought
that some greater beauty could be possessed
