DECADES OF DOLLS
By: N. Catherine
Perfection, excellence, accomplishment is what I solely strive for. I long for a sense of completion that is only described as unblemished. Roads to such an ambition translate to a lifetime. Thus, I am dreadfully far behind. A lifetime seems so indeterminate and purely irrational. Dolls are faultless, why can’t I be. Their emotions are concealed by one meager expression painted across in plastic goodness. They are forever coveted, fancied and fussed over like children. Immaculate their skin remains as years flitter by. Perfection, precision, flawlessness.
