Eating Twiggy

by Beth - Scorpio

Flick through
pages, glossy
perfect celluloid images
pristine hair and smiles
bikinis impossibly small
and not one stray pube
"If you can't slide
your thighs through
the mail slot....
you're a fat pig" 
Subliminal message
to strive for 
impossible perfection
The deadly womens magazine
has much to answer for
as women drop like flies
trying to play 
the xylophone on their ribs
Perhaps many women
could have been saved
if instead of reading Vogue
they had eaten it....
