Modernity

Living by the clock of
cells calling with a
message of goodwill or,
"Please pay your bill."
her veneer is peeling away
in the face of time;
behind the mask it
appears wrinkled by the tale.

No allergy to make-up
marring the paint job
although, a retouch
might carve a legend.
Rushamora, with her three
faces of tripolar resistance
hurries to pet the cat
when nerves come to play.
