I was always better as a clown
than I was with cards
easier to play one
than to win with them
something about expressions

and how they change on skin
but never on paper
unless you fold it in two
and then open it again
but then the damage shows too

and makeup don't work on paper

they say when clowns make up
you can tell who they were with
by the shared paint
and crossed over expressions
transfers are like a kiss

that leaves residue in two places
something on the skin
and something more deeper under
in that can't touch this room
with hearts and other clutter

and makeup don't work, on paper

I just woke up to let the dogs out and forgot to turn this damn thing off - so I came to do that and got caught by you and Margherita's poetry.  Now I am stumbling back to bed to dream of makeup on paper and gamblers (or something like that).  

Intriguing, D.

I've reread and reread this one.  It's something I would never have thought of, totally alien to my way of thinking, but it resonates strongly with me.
