32/365, 13/30 Foo Foo the Snoo

Foo Foo the Snoo looks unhappy in photos.
Perhaps it's the dress.
Perhaps it is general disillusionment with life,
The lack of compatible snoos in the fishpond.
Back to square one.
Back to figuring out what that look was all about.
And whether they make high heeled shoes
to fit cloven-hooved feet.

Disappointed again not to have been invited to the prom,
it wears the same regalia each day,
uncertain of its own gender,
yet yearning for love,
yearning for significance,
for a plot, a motivation,
even a walk-on role,
cameo in another book
that it knows will never be written.




(Foo Foo the Snoo
is a cloven-hoofed goat-humanoid Dr. Seuss character with large horns,
wearing a ski mask and blue floral dress, found on one page in the book
"I Can Read with My Eyes Shut".)
