stilettos are bad for my feet
but nice for my calves
underwires are rude to my ribs
but kind to my cleavage
corsets bully my lungs
but hourglass my waistline
like you
so good to my body
but, oh, so hard
on my heart

dark pictures, thrones, the stones that pilgrims kiss,
poems that take a thousand years to die;
but ape the immortality of this
red label on a little butterfly.

"Seeing" the unusual...EVERY DAY
Good metaphor, and as I read it I actually started nodding appreciatively; even though I don't wear heels/underwires/mascara (or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
I think the words are very effectively wielded

'Beauty will save the world'

I have a funny story, one of my underwires started coming out of the bra underneath by my armpit. I yanked it out and threw it in the trash and one of my male coworkers asked what it was I said it was a bra underwire .... he blushed so badly.
