If You Pull a Long Face - Part Xl
IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : XL
IF you pull a long Quixotic face
At your own mirror image en face at play
Your Right from Left your Anti-Self confuse
Myriad selves your chained Parallel Lives portray
If you pull a long ironic face
Your Right eye looks into your Left in dismay
Who looks at whom to cock-eye whose gaze
Who called out to whom to glimpse past Milky Way
If you pull a long dispised face
At each glance preen looks made of clay
The more you look the more your face you raze
How many torture your face like you do, pray
If you pull a long insidious face
Connive at ruses to make you the Other's prey
Pretend you pass glass wall some Other face efface
The insecure Twit calls out to the Other gay Jay
If you pull a long auto-da-fé face
E'en Hollywood Quasars collapse into Black-Holes some day
The face is mirror of the heart not just the brain's
Suffice it not to smile to win the heart of any Dame, nay, Gay
