| "When I Wake Up In My Make-Up" (title from a Hole's "Celebrity Skin") a zit caused from waking up in my makeup my once naked face, clean and clear of imperfections. painted all so eloquently black kohl lining the jewels that spy the world, with thick mascara coating the fringe of long dark lashes, dusted with a taupe shadow face encased in powder and foundation white as snow. and brazen raisin burgundy lipstick smeared across the lips that refuse to speak. blonde hair bouncy ready to go headcase to hell in a handbasket. my head aches and pounds i am masked and ready to face the world i am painted like a normal girl but i am fucked into slivers by this one and that one the agoraphobe, would rather be ugly at home. -hb 10/23/00 6:20 p.m. back home |
