face

v5

What has changed? 

Only the increased 

compartmentalisation of the face. 

I wait for the moment my colleagues take a sip of water, for then that mask must come down, and I get a sense of who they really are.

As much pleasure as I derive from studying the shape of one's eyes, the arch of their eyebrows even the crow's feet fanning out of the corner of their eyes, I've come to realise a person's nose and mouth contribute much to one's face. 

Since not all smiles have to reach the eyes, 

beneath this mask I need not re-arrange my lips.

It's an art, to divorce one from the other

in saying what we want to say,

one I have hopes of mastering every day.
