A response to Kate Godvin

Modern Mermaid

It is not the way she glides
across the water's surface,
nor how her hair maintains composure
no matter how the current flows.
Her nude body doesn't faze me at all,
and I disregard that she has a fishtail for legs
completely.
The thing that really perplexes me–
the one question I have
is:
How does her makeup stay on?
