| MAKE UP we make up our faces for lots of reasons to go to the movies or some junior prom to see ice hockey or watch the Dodgers come home again defeated going to the grocery store only requires lipstick while a bridge game can mean a quick trip to the hairdresser for a touch up i clean my makeup before going to bed alone and if my mood is foul i spray the sheets with Ultra Ban most faces are made up before the public is faced whether male female or child it's always so appropriate doncha know to put a little mascara around the eyes we make up fantasies to face life we need to believe we are good on the job or at least in the bed we make up lies to impress people who are making up lies to impress us and if either took all the make up off life would not be worth living we make up excuses to say i'm sorry –that- forgive me –because- and after all didn't i tell you -why- and i make up with you because you aren't strong enough to reach out to say come home i need you |
