The Hip Modern Girl

by K. Kylyra Ameringer

Marian Jones was driven demented

The daemon inside, her soul represented

Like a small bead on a very long string

The complex structure of the gossamer ring

She's laughing

In a devilment whirl

A rite of passage

For the hip, modern girl

Jupiter stirred water and life

Aphrodite refused to be his wife

I put it to her she's elusive bent

Blowing in on a nightmare hell sent

She's laughing

In a devilment whirl

A rite of passage

For the hip, modern girl

In an age of exotica moon

The sky falls backwards and stops far too soon

Enveloped in a mountain of dust

Working late at night to increase her bust

She's laughing

In a devilment whirl

A rite of passage

For the hip, modern girl
