ugly girls

he thinks ugly girls
are the most beautiful
outfitting themselves
in Target Couture
unafraid to drink a Heineken
out of the bottle

he loves ugly girls
embracing their chipped teeth,
hang nails, awkward birthmarks
and poor vision

their bad jokes turn him on
and he doesn't really mind
the hairs under her chin

to him
an ugly girls beauty
fades into the horizon
their gorgeousness
constantly in pursuit
yet unattainable

and this is what he craves
the chase
coveting the minute space
between land and sky
