Smile is best gift
That we can give to the world
It's the best facelift....

high school reunion

eyes gawk at my youthful look--

facelift unnoticed

There was an old woman from Brighton

Whose face the small children would frighten

     “Egad, why these wrinkles?

     My eyes lost their twinkles!”

Her skin she used clothespins to tighten

BANGS

dyed-up bangs over my face like prison bars
fine, without fizz
i need a facelift 
tiger’s eyes, striated, squinches
the familiar room seems faceless
dim
the din of one trapped
guilty of nothingness
a pin drops
no one hears in the dark grass

Let me tell about a snowman, Ole Frosty
He needs a facelift that's way too costly
Coal eyes are covered by saggy eyelids 
And a dimple chin reaches his forbids

Write me, tinker;
I’m falling apart.
Right me, thinker;
patch up this heart.

Stitch each seam 
with thread eternal;
mend ragged edges, 
remnants infernal.

Take what’s worthy, 
make it shine.
Fairly, justly, 
restore what's mine.

a penny and a quarter
a nickle and a dime
this is change 
big change takes time
take the time 
let the change build up
continue building
then it will become big change

a haircut and a dye
a facelift another guy
this is change
big change takes time
take the time 
let the change build up
continue building 
then it will become big change...

Busy breezy baby
Facelift funny fancy


Bubbly baby beckons
Rapture reaping reckons


Tiny treasure tumbles
Glimpses gaining grumbles


Lifting lazy laughter
Ample asking after


Bubbly bouncing baby
Sounding simply silly


Dreamy dazzle dangles
Touchy treasure tangles


Sleepy succinct spacious
Apt antics audacious

Entrances with a name,
Cities with a name,
We have a name!
Let us take a chance
To give our entrance a facelift,
A sandblasting and polishing!
Our name, too, must be engraved
For the season ahead
With the Name above all names!

We'll stand on the land
Where we were once scarred,
And go through the blockade
To the other side.
Stepping into a new place of peace,
Our path will be secured and blessed....

If I was a girl
and ugly as a freak
my life was gonna be
miserable
first
i was gonna need
a total facelift
a huge nose job
and a job 
on my lips
a job on my boobs
and of course
a butt-lift
a fun guy to date
with tattoos,
and a sport car
and marry a guy
who works in Wall Street
loaded with money
and a villa
on the beach
a big SUV and a couple
of kids
who hopefully won't need
like me
a facelift...

Who said
i want to be a girl
anyway?!!!......

NEGLECTED    BEAUTY

Beauty-mica granite sidewalks shining 
Fontanka and Moika  Canals  like Venice boreal
Boats  flopping, tourist cameras aligning
Gold-domed  architecture monumental 
Kazan cathedral  needing  facelift, declining





Notes :

(SPB = Saint  Petersburg,  Russia )
Almost all sidewalks in SPB  are granite
There are many canals in SPB, and these two are more famous than others
Kazan is only one of several lovely cathedrals in SPB...

The promise land doesn't come turnkey and move in ready
         It's a self-assemble

         New build: customize your own heaven or hell
         Remodel:   Pimp a dinosaur
                          Facelift a grand Dame
                          Restore a Hiroshima
                          An eyesore into a Picasso

         For you can upcycle the pieces of your broken yesterdays
         into vintage tomorrows
         Your bitter blues into your giddiest bliss yet...
