...common girls | final version

common girls
go husband hunting
fight for positions
noisily order beer
get cross with their girlfriends

put on tight leggings
though they have never liked tight leggings
but tight leggins are in now

they say a prayer before they go to bed
they put themselves to sleep reading the vampire trilogy

easy to handle
not to be claimed
well-preserved
never go off

I often envy
the common girls
their pink Wellingtons
of disabilities
