mask

people with thick makeup,
what do you reveal?
what do you hide?

plus

i am making my body
subject of this observation
stretching it, molding it,
making it unpretty

unsuspecting gals,
i am watching you
i peek under your skirt
to see how many inches are
your feet away from the ground,
i listen to ways you laugh,
i take notes of hints of
torments and,
if i'm lucky enough, of
blemishes uncorrected
by your N6 L'Oreal

i don't care much of why's
this is only a beginning

step on the catwalk and shine
i'm an attentive curator to
only what you reveal
thus, what you hide

inspire me!
