Hi, I'm Barbie, what's up?

there's a gaggle of small
girls
in front of the movie theater
all dressed in pink.
it's Lord of the Flies
times ten.
they are chanting loudly
over and over again,
Hi, I'm Barbie, what's up?
their skinny arms
flailing about,
their eyes wide open
with hypnotic zeal.
mostly little white girls
with wealthy parents standing
behind them,
drinking lattes, and taking
pictures.
it's an event
before the woke movie even begins.
we cross the street and go see
Oppenheimer.
the atomic
bomb seems to be more of
our liking.
