| Kansas wasn't good enough |

|
Green green grass wasn't good enough for her,
|
1 |
|
nor was her papa's cornfield at high noon.
|
2 |
|
Not even her grandma's summer garden
|
3 |
|
could serve as a pallete to her fashion.
|
4 |
|
So she took some pills and sang all night
|
5 |
|
and in the morning left for New York.
|
6 |
|
She got hit by a truck while alighting from the bus.

|
It's interesting, because a passer-by took a photo
|
8 |
|
and her blood and brains inspired a cardigan
|
9 |
|
for the fall-winter collection at DKNY.

Good stuff. However, I think more background info would be useful. Excellent ending by the way! Matter-of-fact style yet not terribly rhythmic, and I like it!

Lovely little epitath, this is very clever and satisfying in its brevity and simplicity of form.
