Native Beauty

She was an ugly little thing,
like the Ethiopian maid
of 500 thousand years ago.
Not a pretty sight at all.

Give her credit.
The power of visualization.
She saw herself beautiful,
and by Jove accomplished it.

Her body became female perfection.
The ointments made her skin like satin.
And this was before the time when surgeons
became Frankenstein and saline practitioners.
