If I had a name

by Laurel R.

If I had a name like Owldrop Corkscrew

I would not shave my armpits,

And plant babies in deep holes.

My skin would sag tremendously,

I’d have the tiniest, sharpest, loveliest teeth.

My home would be covered in molding tarts and old breads.

I would hang pink curtains, practice meditation by the drainpipes.

I would only wear overalls, of varying colours and textures.

With a name like Owldrop Corkscrew, I would be filthy.

I would be beautiful
