Don’t Do That Thing With Your Face, Anita

RDP WEDNESDAY: LAUGHTER

.

I do not smile

and I do not laugh

because when I was a kid

someone said

I

looked

like

a monkey at the zoo

banging on the glass window

begging for peanuts

and maybe

I

was.

 

 

 

I Can Do That

The Light House By Victor Hugo

Pablo Picasso – Girl with a Mandolin

Parts of me that still work

my legs, my arms, my fingers

I have to bribe them on some mornings with drugs

to do their jobs

 

My face, my eyes, my crooked jaw

not good for much

except for maybe nobody spends much time

looking at me to closely

 

My voice, my brain, my heart

sit in their cages of bone

and ride around without a care in the world

for me or anybody else.
