The natural women,
wearing what is suitable for the surroundings of their hometown,
have become endangered because nowadays social media supports the creation of
a false image and you have to be an "anime girl" or a real-life princess even if you are living in the wetlands of South Carolina.
Once the Venus Flytraps ruled the East Coast of the USA,
but today there are only a few who possess the key
to their core essence,
to their sweet spot,
because women are told to
distance themselves from the truth
and to dress up like the Lolitas from Japan
or the jet-set reality stars from California
(whose designer clothes, btw, have driven them into an everlasting debt spiral)
or if they want to be "natural," they have to follow the style of the dreadlock-wearing
feminist vegans
of New York.
A real Dionaea muscipula is a woman who roams in the woods
in her
faded jeans and t-shirt,
or hangs around in the garden in her nightie even when it’s five p.m.
causing a fuss
in the midst of the "good old church folk."
A woman like this has no interest in catching the little flies,
she’s waiting for the grand-prize:
Squirrel Treefrog, the man of the woods
who loves taking long walks in the rain.
