Trout Pout

Why do women that have lips of perfect width
and depth , have them injected so that they distort
and form a trout pout?

Why don't the 50 year old people with, faces tight as drums,
grow old gracefully and accept the lines upon their foreheads
and the crows feet gathering at the corners of their eyes?

Silicone tits inert as rocks, inplanted cheeks and suctioned hips
it's the Dr Frankenstein school of beauty
self worth gained at the point of a knife

Where is the shame in imperfection, individuality
and the collection of knowledge through the accumulation of age ?
