Second Place Winner: Gislina Patterson


Fashion Show

I go in and sit
Pudgy faced men
sitting all around me
music starts doors open
then all of a sudden
it hits me like a brick wall
bright lights
a man yelling
women who look like their faces can't move
saunter down the runway
their perfume applied with an ice cream scoop
loud music everywhere
but the loudest noise
is the beating of my empty heart
all these bright lights and lasers everywhere
but it is the darkest I have ever seen
with all these noises
the air is more empty than ever
and with all these people
I have never felt more alone
