she's wearing a polka-dotted swimsuit
under
plastic pants
pink tights
a purple shirt
and a Santa Claus hat
she goes from laughing hysterically
to sobbing in the corner, humiliated
over something none of us remember
and though we try to hide it
the world revolves around her
lash-fringed eyes and pouty pink lips
oh baby, how did you get to be the queen?
