The Flapper Girls by Danielle Jackson
The jazz age babes
boop-boop be-duped
their way
out of kitchens
with silky stocking
and pouting lips,
tamed the snakes
inside clean trousers.
Brash, stylish,
Hedonistic, perfume dolls.
Short skirt rebels
With powdered knees,
gaze at by swollen wallet men
dressed in tail coats
and top hats,
And played with by those fly boys
and drugstore cowboys.
