this isn't abt Dick Contino
or that Spanish lady
so popular in my youth
this is actually abt
the opposite of youth
on Facebook
I saw an ad
showing a face
& what happens
as it ages
I never knew
those creases
beside the lips
had a name
"accordian lines"
lovely to know
the face in my mirror
is musical
so when I smile
at myself
I hear my whole life
in a song
or that Spanish lady
so popular in my youth
this is actually abt
the opposite of youth
on Facebook
I saw an ad
showing a face
& what happens
as it ages
I never knew
those creases
beside the lips
had a name
"accordian lines"
lovely to know
the face in my mirror
is musical
so when I smile
at myself
I hear my whole life
in a song
