The Undignified Teddy

White slabs
Tear
away from its body

while another
Brown
Black
Grey
stitch themselves on.

Gone
are the simple patterns now
replaced
with fanciful gaudy colours
and complicated patterns.

"How beautiful"
Someone gasps
at the discolouring teddy

one eye larger
than the other,
one arm different
from the other,
one leg shorter
than the other.

No longer beautiful.

No longer nice to look at.

A revolting teddy

that onlookers
Gag at.
