The pigments of a lie
Brash neons
Bold pastels
Bright glitter and
Deep shadows
Skilfully applied
Hiding rough edges
Jagged concepts
And flaws
Engulfing the original
Making it palatable
Rendering it acceptable
Desirable
So desirable
And worthwhile
Dazzling beauty
Stilling the masses
Making them stare
Making them stupid
Believing the lies
Caressing the pigments
With greedy eyes
Letting their gaze
Drop down
Follow on
Imagine
Linger
Utterly bewitched
By the science
And the art
of Skin-Deep.

I know you – even though this is a year-ago-you.
Sometimes I wish I could paint the way you do. That might be nice sometimes.
