Perfection

Location

Frizzy ringlets of hair,

tamed into thick braids.

Slick hair,

down to your waist,

blowing everywhere.

Too-long bangs,

constantly pushed out of your face.

Loose curls

limp and beautiful.

 

Full lips,

coated in daily gloss or lipstick.

Thin ones,

bare and chapped.

Some mixture of both,

shining with ChapStick.

 

Dark skin

freckled with darker spots.

Tan skin, almost orange,

dotted with acne scars.

Pale skin

nearly transclucent,

sprinkled with small tan freckles.

 

Less than 100

Over 100

150

200

Whatever.

 

Perfection.

All of you.
