The mannequins move upon the screen, air-brushing reality from the dream, Woman defined by only her home, generic male is industry's drone Art imitates life, to the neighbors' acclaim as the ersatz couple are perfectly framed With their synthetic children and enamel smiles, behold; “Still Life With Plastic Tiles” So the interrogation begins, the spotlight falls upon the wife’s sins: “HOW CLEAN IS YOUR HOUSE? ARE YOU ONE OF US?” Quick! Clean the dirt, and polish the dust! The whole world glares through double-glazed eyes at your pitch-black whites and your cellulite thighs Eight out of ten say you're incomplete ‘til your soul smiles back at you from clean white sheets So exorcise your home in the Aryan way and keep the dust devils safely at bay Scrub your children until they bleed, or people will think that you're strange indeed ...just bein' Bluesy |

How glibly you speak of my demons, Bluesy! And the children only bled a little. ~L |

Yes, Miss Lori, I've gotta lay off those '50's family sitcoms! Tell me you don't do house chores in nylons and high-heels! ...just bein' Bluesy |

Bluesy, when I put on nylons and heels the only dusting I'll be doing is with my long mascaraed lashes...  ~L |
