turning the clock back

the surgery did not
go well
her face
tightened
like a drum, the botox
stabs
into the forehead,
around the lips,
the chin
the mouth.
they sucked out as much
donut
fat as they could
around her tum.
slimmed her down
to a size
two.
but it wasn't her anymore,
no matter how
much lipstick
she put on,
or what dress she wore,
she now
looked like a chimp
at the national
zoo.
