doll in a dreamhouse
the colours are your favourite
red and gold like the setting sun
panopticon in a shoebox
we can see all the rooms
it's important for a doll to be poseable
for the limbs to bend and the clothes to fit
and if the plastic discolours, that's a fault in manufacturing
fill the house with your favourite toys
and add your doll to the pile
the plastic smile is just right
the eyes fixed open for whatever's next
it's important to tidy up
and put your doll away at night
