I'll draw the hair

If we're all drawing a face together
I don't want to draw the mouth.

I'll draw the hair --
just lines, loose and easy.

Or the eyes.

But not the lips.
The way they curve and join

and hold back
her teeth.

Don't make me draw the lips.

Wow -- very poignant ambivalence. Childlike, tragic, and hopeful all at once. Nicely done.
