Please get your face
away from my face
There have been faces everywhere
all day
and they have sucked out all my energy
and replaced it with pumpkin innards
and molasses
I need to huddle on my couch
and cry for five days
and I need
to do it now
How nice that you’re going
to a party later
but if I don’t read this book now
my life will be empty
and meaningless
and way too full of faces
