the cruelest part was that as beautiful
as much as her features flaunted
a genetic pedigree of bonafide aristocracy
and her hands deftly wielded
needlework and roast chickens
and her tresses attested
to tortoiseshell combs and splendid grooming
[she makes a deal for feet]
...
in exchange she gives something up
her voice, her elastic hymen
her club med membership card
It is a difficult process
...
The mermaid treads on knives when she uses her feet
and who takes her seriously?
the ending would be better
if she regained her tail
and never shaved again
...
