Inside the mind of a perfect doll
China Doll


She waits,
In semi - comfortable position,
Waiting
For someone else's decision.
As she casts her eye upon her scene
She focuses on something
Once unseen.
Noises of laughter
From beyond the window come
What can it be
Strains against herself to reach the sun.
Doesn’t see the edge of chair
Nor the peril
Laying in wait, there.
In a moment
Or was it two
Suddenly
Her foot slips through.


Where once she was pretty,
Now, She lies
Broken on the floor
As the laughter fades
Beyond the living room door.
