Poems
Dec 2016
She wears too much makeup
Even to an untrained eye
One can spot layers of foundation
Caked into her face
Is she a victim
Of some historical imperative?
Is she caged
In some arbitrary matrix?
Some fun-house of mirrors
While a mustachioed ringleader
Overcharges, shouting
βCome one, come all, bedazzled spectator
Behold, the distorted woman
Transmogrifying before your eyes!β
Or maybe sheβs just vain
Or betwixt the two
Somewhere, a boy drops a sixpence
It rattles in the dusky jar
As he enters the dark show
whatever comes to mind as always
