The green in your eyes lies,
As does the curve of your lip,
Supple though it is.
Your ash brown hair is braided with more lies
Than there are tourists in Florida.
Your tongue is the shaper of lies,
As are the teeth that encircle it
Like too easily bribed, depraved henchmen.
Your ears are the most extravagant lie of all-
As if they ever listen.
Your life is a lie in pants.
It is only your nose that remains honest,
Always poking into my personal affairs
When what I really need is
To be left alone.
