My Barbie

Poor, poor girl.
5 feet 9 inches tall, with 36
inches of chest, 33-inch
hips and a mere 18-
inch waist, why she is wasting
herself away. Critics say
she is an anorexic, shop-a-holic,
high-heeled , brainless icon
out to destroy the self
image and esteem
of every girl.
As if this tiny girl-
like doll, just a doll,
had a mind and motive
within her empty, plastic
head, this smiling, shiny
haired head on an 11.5 inch-tall
body, a body modeled
after a paper doll,
a person made of nothing
but paper, so thin
and fragile. Nothing
at all.
