If You Pull a Long Face - Part Xl

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : XL IF you pull a long Quixotic face At your own mirror image en face at play Your Right from Left your Anti-Self confuse Myriad selves your chained Parallel Lives portray If you pull a long ironic face Your Right eye looks into your Left in dismay Who looks at whom to cock-eye whose gaze Who called out to whom to glimpse past Milky Way If you pull a long dispised face At each glance preen looks made of clay The more you look the more your face you raze How many torture your face like you do, pray If you pull a long insidious face Connive at ruses to make you the Other's prey Pretend you pass glass wall some Other face efface The insecure Twit calls out to the Other gay Jay If you pull a long auto-da-fé face E'en Hollywood Quasars collapse into Black-Holes some day The face is mirror of the heart not just the brain's Suffice it not to smile to win the heart of any Dame, nay, Gay © T.
