isn't it blatent?

by heather - Taurus

today's name will be called
"Honesty."  i have contrived this 
out of passionless hours spent
curling my hair, applying
two coats of clear mascara and a 
tint of strawberry lip gloss while
perfecting the art of
swaying-hip-movement;
a hidden bomb there,
a choked excuse here,
one less angry man
present on this earth.

(do not ask what
the numbers are for, only
embrace the inevitable defeat
calculation will bring).

today's name will be known as
"Perfection."  a name 
i have contrived out of 
nameless hours spent 
consuming you, mass hysteria, 
and a broken rear view mirror
looking back on
interstate eighteen.
