niña buena = good girl

The family gaze
like cystic acne
no escape route
no layers can 
conceal
us

At least you're 
not like prima X

But you could
be more like prima Z

She probably doesn't
spend the night
like you 
or ask him to get
on his 
knees
like you

pop pop

All you did was 
rip your skin - now
look at yourself

Everyone knows

that you could have
been X

but instead you had
to clog your pores
and lose track of
time
