who is ducky wucky everyone wanted to know show? where did she come undone from - her mask fastened to her bed head at such a young age that she'd forgotten the feel of her own fleshy face - (a pretty face she'd been told once) she was now a lucky ducky wucky to receive so much deflection attention. some figured she was australian, but it was just the way the mask made her funny sunny voice sound filtered thru the layers of paper mache! it started innocently enough - strangers w/ wax, then clown w/ stilts peaks of latex novelties meshing with consecrating flesh, to many ducky wucky was a throbbing temple - to be worshipped revered for her tolerance to pain - but what no one understood is that without the eyes for them to see there is no pain really truly. they could hide behind ducky wucky's mask better than lucky ducky wucky could even hope to blve.
