Lonely Doll
A gross departure from the bisque headed dolls of the
1920's she was a well-designed, up to date, fashionable
substitute. She had all the human qualities a good doll
was supposed to have: heels, lipstick, blood, vital signs,
lungs that took in oxygen…Even her skin exceeded normal
expectations by using actual pigment. The new model came
complete with a heart that slammed relentlessly against
its rib cage in a desperate flurry of furious beats. As a
doll with a sensitive heart, she hid her humanity well, by
her own designs, the layers of makeup so thick and robust
you'd never know it was real, that it could feel.
Onlookers could never hope to understand the passion that
threatened to consume her soul the way the human heart
threatens to consume the mind. She lays in stasis caught
between where she is and where she yearns to be, still,
above all else, a doll with emotions – so eventually her
feelings ignite and explode with universal birth pangs
that spread throughout her entire body,infusing her
plastic cells with life, setting aflame her wild red hair,
infusing the iris of her eyes with mad and relentless
substance. Her lips spill blood, her body jerks up and
the life inside her shell screams for release, for
contact. She is a husk in the open field of love,
carrion for vultures to consume at will. Conspicuously
gift wrapped on her green assembly line, her hand, pink,
satin gloved, seemingly porcelain…desperately reaching out
for something to love, something to hold onto, checking
ever so carefully for another pulse that simply isn't
there. Her plastic shroud offers protection against the
intentions of the dark hearted and the politics of a game
she never really learned how to play.
Eyes shut, she hopes they don't see her quiet suffering…
The storm is looming over the horizon.
