"Lens"

Brushes tickling,

Rouges tricking,

Lenses clicking,

So bewitching.

Photos which tell you,

"She is beautiful."

Toothpaste dripping,

Tile slipping,

Toe-nail clipping,

Blouse ripping.

Photos which tell me,

"You are beautiful." 

Fingers shaking,

Hearts racing,

Limbs quaking,

Love making.

Photos which tell us,

"We are beautiful."

Society, scathing,

Media, grating,

Women, pacing -

No gyrating.

Photos which tell them,

"None are beautiful."

Pen and paper,

Water vapor,

Tongue scraper,

Midnight caper,

Photos which tell me,

"Life is beautiful."
