Bus stop Venus

Clothing Giant H&M Defends ‘Perfect’ Virtual Models
Posed on an unseen beach, you casually
hook a curved thumb into your waistband.
The sapphire sea shades into an azure sky
your arms are dusted with fine white sand
your poised limbs’ artful informality
and the perfection of your symmetry
make you a Photoshop Aphrodite –
a vision of carved mahogany.
Your swimming costume hints at what is not
visible more than what it reveal to us
you are a living statue. God, you are hot!
Your half-closed lids are ambiguous.
Only £3.99 for your top!
You're a Venus for the bus stop.
