I ask
is this the face I favor?
and frown
Time to shave the fucking clown
Soaping and lathering
the slavering fool,
tearing free the masking tape
to scrape the face with sharpened tool
A likeness achieved
and people deceived
a new face applied
and a new place to hide
the mirror steams,steaped in dreams
I draw cartoon eyes
wide in surprise
big bared teeth that smile
while
the won't and the will
the can't
and the shan't
the mustn't and shouldn't
wouldn't and couldn't
shout louder and bolder
than the face that grows older
