Mechanics
Scratch at skin marks
Wrapped in old tissues
Paint warrior stains with the leftovers
watch it melt down your eroded cheeks
Carve a new face
With plastic features
Movement is a difficult sub plot
Pick up your lips, honey
They’re drooping
Do we need to get the safety pins?
Depth of breath is important here
It should reach the bottom of your lungs
For maximum effect
Callus your fingertips
To avoid future pain
Run them across tables
For a final polish

See your eyelids?
Slide them down a bit
Don’t let all your secrets out at once
Stopper the wine bottle
Keep the content pure
And sweet
None of those nasty additives
And rub gasoline
Behind your ears
Down your neck
And on your wrists
For good luck
