21/30 (It Told on Me)


 Face contorted.

“Behave,” I command.

 But, it has a 

mind of its own.

Disapproving of vile, contemptuous individuals,

    attempting to disguise my utter disgust; 

    it wouldn’t let me.

    So began the twitching,

      the glitching, the eye-brow raising, 

       wrinkled forehead,

       the scowling.

      Tried to get it under control,

        there was no reasoning with it.

        Side-eyeing didn’t work;

        closing them was ineffective.

        Blinking only made me dizzy!

        Alas, it did not relent. 

          Once again, the face began facing

          and acting out!
