  Face:
  
  Singing face
  frozen in time.
  
  Face:
  
  Whispering face
  trying not to scream
  as it tells you
  all the secrets
  you'll use against them
  later.
  
  Face:
  
  Whithered face
  with the eyes of
  a young girl.
  
  Face:
  
  Scared face
  afraid to come
  closer.
  
  Face:
  
  Lonely face
  in the middle
  of a crowd.
  
  Face:
  
  Desperate face
  unsure of what happened
  or why.
  
  Face:
  
  Determined face
  an endless "to do" list
  written across
  teeth.
  
  Face:
  
  My laughing face
  even though it
  does not get
  the joke.
  
  Face:
  
  Happy face
  Sunday afternoon
  listening to the sounds
  of the marathon runners
  footsteps and the crowd's
  screams on the street
  below.
  
  Face:
  
  Dead.
  
  A mask
  dreaming
  he was once beloved
  upon this Earth.

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
