Poem


Facial

not Aristotle but a system too
of suppositions, principles
independent of what you need

explained: a subject you started
-- patrifluff before turning to
face cream, your serum as you

put it -- liposomes, proteins
peptides -- fascinating stuff
the liquid part of blood taken

from an animal and entered
into human tissue, protection 
from disease, Latin for whey

what separates from the curds 
in the cheese-making process
the glow you make of your face
