She Has It All

Things aren't always what they seem...

Well, look over there, little miss cheerleader
Of course I mean sandy Phillips, look at her
Her smile is to die for…all those teeth
Well why shouldn’t she smile, look at her
All legs and blonde hair and white teeth
What does she have to frown about
Wow, did you see that, that car hit the mailbox
Her mother? No kidding, drunk at 3pm
I had no idea….look how quick she got in the car
She must be so embarrassed
Jilly Kanton says her mother told her that Mrs Phillips
Lost her license last month and she is still driving
Drunk too
Speaking of Jilly, you’ll never guess what else she told me
Well, one night she spent the night with Sandy
Yeah before that dance a few months back
Anyway, she was in bed, Sandy was in the shower
And Mr Phillips (exactly like Richard Gere, that’s right)
Anyway, he comes in the bedroom and started groping Jilly
I mean, girl, she said she was scared to death
He had his hand under her gown and she was fighting him
No he didn’t, apparently he started crying and telling her
He was so sorry but honey, listen, he kept calling her Sandy
Can you believe it
Jilly said Sandy came out of the bathroom and calmly
Led him back to his room, like he was a little kid
Jilly didn’t say anything and neither did Sandy but girl
Her own father…
Yeah, now that you mention it, she did have a brother
Billy, he was in my sister Anne’s graduation class
No shit? He always was really pretty, I remember that
A hairdresser…well isn’t that precious
Who saw him? No kidding? Well, we know what those red blotches mean
Remember Kim from sophomore class, she looked like that too
Yes, she lost a lot of weight too
Were they close? Oh I’ll bet she is heartbroken, I would be
As much as I hate my brother, I don’t want to lose him
Especially like that
You know, when I think about it, her smile looks
A little strained, kinda pasted on, don’t you think?

A gripping modern-day commentary on the veneer we all might envy but which masks a reality we might be relieved to be spared of. This is so well-penned, Sue, and is so "life-like and natural" in the telling. Quite an insight, too, into how our tongues can be used to inflame or quieten already tragic situations... all in the name of self-assurance. You are one of the best life-commentators I have come across here. Very well done, thank you. Kate xx
