The morning train to Dublin <br />Carrying me comfortably; <br />Fascinated by a lady’s face <br />In the hand mirror she held <br />Firm and close in front of her. <br />Eye to eye in an even look <br />Before a facial restoration, <br />She commenced in earnest <br />With deft hand movements <br />Brushing on to hide or blush; <br />Eyebrows get her attention- <br />Swift strokes to left and right; <br />Then eye shadow is applied <br />Before descending to her lips, <br />Pursed for a pale pink lipstick; <br />Glazing over with a little finger <br />After she starts to soft brush, <br />Powder puffing high and low <br />For a finish to her work of art.<br /><br />Matt Mooney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/face-to-face-22/
