This is the poem I was talking about yesterday. I hope you like it. (also i thihnk I'm going to have to give up with the quotes because the only quotes I have a french and that is just too hard to translate. But I will try when I can)
A Face
Picture a face
just a face that
tries to be oval
but is a little too square
not a big deal really
in the scheme of things
but it could be rounder.
The skin is fair
hardly ever tans
its dry and too flakey
but too oily as well
prime conditions for
acne causing bacteria
to run ramped.
The hair is dark
black when wet
smell's pretty
when clean
too frizy though
uncontrolably so sometimes.
An ear on either side
of the face
each a little too low
a little too small
but they seem to jut out
in an effort
to make up for those shortcomings
the eyes are green
well usually anyway
sometimes they seem
to reflect a little blue
but they're not blue
its a trick of the light
that reveils a memory
There's a nose of course
in the middle of the face
where noses tend to be
below the eyes
above the mouth
an unremarkable nose
nothing at all special
Pink lips
full in a pout
flat and straight
in a smile
though they curve down
perpetually it seems
even on a happy day
so all in all
a normal face
nothing special
nothing missing
a place for everything
everything in its place
but still I despise it
