Mona Lisa Enigma

Not many notice I am in drag. I was complicated, what with the codes, and the hidden secrets of last suppers. In my day you had to be circumspect, my works were only for a select few like you. Yes you, the spotty nerd with the horn-rim glasses at the back of the group ignoring the spiel of the docent. One day you will unravel my intentions, I am not concerned. Human nature needs a strait path from here to there. They ponder my smile but it's the background that is my self-portrait - no wonder I smile this way.
