Paste a Face
Paste a face your audience can lick up,
Stretch a smile over your wrinkles of laughter
and sadness
Breathe deep like your first bong hit,
Now...
Plead to heaven, erasing the nearest circle of
Hell on your heart
Find groups of pregnant classes on marriage
And little, healthy babies...
Write down how well you know jelly beans
Is what your spouse likes..
Bring a story to your mind..be it barefoot
Or slippers on Thanksgiving evening,
fat and tired; or drinking wine
Near a trimmed tree,
carols and egg nogged babble.
Paste a face your audience can lick up,
Smile and give your gravy time to
Underachieving sweaty sisters in law
And brothers on sobatical.
