Seen Seething

Listen to poem:
Nostrils flared every so slightly Jaw tightened, strangling a smile, Teeth clenched were locked in traffic jam, seized up Eyes narrowed to piercing dagger points leering with malice On the face and brow, the wrinkles erupted tight, highlighted Complexion inflected flushed ruddy ruby red with rage Breaths were short, sharp, shallow and puffy. Clearly this was a seen-seething opening scene. Despite attempts to stall and hide the curtain roll, behind the grimace of lips vice-gripped, and teeth clenched into a feeble, forced and fake smile, was the seething scene that didn't fool anyone in the room!
