Shopping window models
glare contemptuously among the crowds
from the glory of the plastic pedestal.

Artificial pride tweaks their features,
as they stand, upholding the transience
that is ill-proportioned perfection.

Conceit imperturbable,
in cloth or nude
They stand before the world alone
a physical statement of the lewd.
I wrote this a few years ago ( i think 2) because i was looking at store mannequins, and realised how freakish their proportions actually are, and hence the poem:P
