Mannequin


Mannequin skin peeling gray
Leather skirt
denim shirt
Shape perfect in every way

Simply walk by
The lucky Mannequin
with eyes of blue
only one shoe

Its wig barely clinging
Platinum blond
In the wind swinging
Scarf tied on

Years stood in the heat
The rain and hurricane
Cars watching from the street
Hey look there so sweet

Change its clothes
For every holiday
Never losing its parts
Doesn’t need a heart

Never inside
people continue to stride by
Outside it will stay
never tires
doesn’t ask to be paid

Always smiling
One arm waving
Serving its purpose
Never complains or feels pain

Eyes never blinking
Years and years
watch as the trains go by
No fears no tears

Appreciate the mannequin
standing tall
In the city
for all
