Faces
Full faces, fat faces, gaunt faces, frightening faces, festive faces, freaked-out faces
Plastered on Paris, shellacked on signs, tagged on trains, brushed onto billboards
Painted with spray painting, painted by hand painting, painted pumped with air painting
Robust reds, vibrant violets, beautiful blues, gorgeous greens or golds, bold black borders
Bizarre backgrounds like Dali, strange shapes like Picasso, crazy caricatures like Warhol
Faces are the first we see in anyone; on anyone
Faces can be fronts. Covers for the covert. Faces can mean respect – or false respect.
Faces speak without saying one word yet speak volumes
Guises to the gullible. Veils for the visage. Forwardness fronts for fear. The inverse can be true
Assumptions of arrogance. Airs of attitude. Rudeness is a ruse for respect. Faces front all
Faces
While painted with spray painting, painted by hand painting
Painted pumped with air painting; they also can be fronts. Covers for the covert
Faces speak without saying one word yet speak volumes
Faces are the first we see in anyone; on anyone
Plastered on Paris, shellacked on signs, tagged on trains, brushed onto billboards
False faces fool the fools. The clever can get past the cloak, the disguise and find – truth.
