skin deep

she shows me a picture
of herself
from two years ago. before she went
blonde.
i hardly recognize her with this new
frozen face.
i knew her
before the implants,
the chin reconstruction.
the nips and tucks.
the weight loss,
the botox.
can you believe that was me?
she says.
it was a lot of work, but
worth it.
i'm getting so many dates.
married men stop me on the street
and give me their numbers.
and what about you,
she asks,
sipping her third martini.
what are you driving now?
do you have a boat yet?
