At the bus stop

is a doctored poster of Janet

For sale at the Tower:

Colored contacts emoting carnal songs

Mouth watering collagen lips

Euphoric porcelain teeth

Electrolysis

Lifted lids and cheek bones

Nose in geometrically perfect form

Hair kinked and painted gold

Luscious skin tone

Implanted cleavage shown

Who'd rather choose

The old fashioned woman

Waiting beside the depiction

in a regal black robe

with only the face

of innocence shone?

(Fazeel Azeez Chauhan)
