Do you like Britney Spears?
Don’t you hate her?
She’s such a slut! I hear.
Britney Jeau Spears,
born December 2, 1981,
Kentwood, Louisiana,
Cradled and known
by her mother
Lynne
and her father
Jamie
called Bit-Bit
by her little sister.
mouseketeer
half iconic
the first album cover
legs spread
knees in
little skirt
flirting fun smiles
a child’s satisfaction
in that pleasing, plain face
fifteen?
no one
between her legs
nothing falls here,
between her legs
photoshoped shadows
that precious place, precious
crossroads
dancers ride her
convocation
Jesus loves her
little children
dressed up like her
fashion statement
if sex sells,
what sells sex?
but reproduction.
if sex is
reproduction,
what is reproduced?
but the image.
(Between the desire and the spasm…
Between the essence and the decent
lies the image)
sex her up and reproduce her
tv screens, html, magazines and my hollow mind
hanging upon the beam across the shop a tacked
up picture, not yet ready
to get back to playboy
but maxim’s not heavy
and more exposure
just snap and print
and its already
more ready than we’ll ever be
to see
all this silent skin and sales
frail eyes gilded with mere hope
where they close in on their own lonely stares
where falls the image
without a glimpse through
without a mere look through the tomb
the Spirit beyond
the paper pupils
her beauty
