Bipolar Barbie. Poem by Mary X

Bipolar Barbie.

Rating: 4.2


There was this
Barbie-doll girl I knew
who grew
into a Barbie-doll woman.

She battled some
bipolar disorders
and cocks dressed
in suits, until
one day

it got too much.
She tried gassing
herself in her
car – hose-pipe in
the window affair –

but realized her
car was made
from plastic. Not
to mention that
plastic lungs
can’t do
much in the first place.

I guess plastic
brains don’t
think up
great
ideas.

Mary X.

Lovely feel to this. The coldness of the narrative belies the warmth of the humour.
