Wo-mannequin
Rolling though life like a billiard ball
smooth and round to hide the sprite inside.
Wears disguise in order to be seen,
signaling she’s on the other side.
Clothing to suggest a nakedness.
She’s a thimblerig – three shells and a pea.
Yearns for company, earns privacy.
Victory brings her nothing but defeat.
