NICE GIRL

not too pretty
or ugly
slightly overweight...
eats bagels
drinks diet pepsi...
plain
to the point
of madness;
does not know
how to lie.
after 20 odd years
has not given it up
to anyone.
her parents
are proud,
but slightly
embarrassed
by her
situation.


Norman Savage
Greenwich Village, 1977
