my face shows everything


it is as fact-laden as a documentary


but my love...woman that she be...


(and they all are sisters...whatever their cattiness


toward each other)


she and they all create themselves...


the beautiful face a fiction


that expresses all truth as lies


and makes you understand why


you have no chance to change the world


when it is so much easier


and kinder to submit


and the sadness of your face


confirms the mask
