they criticized you for being too
sexy
too made-up
too promiscuous
with your dances
and poses—
too mature
at six years old;
who is teaching you
these provocative styles
in the extravagant attires
with a face done-up by a beautician?
Little miss beauty queen
you were your very own
Shirley Temple
Star;
Keep shining on
Babe—
Shine on till dawn.
