Scars cut across their faces

Jarring, catching my attention,

their random swipes, the gashes;

The motion of our highlighters,

the pens we were given,

looking for counterfeits.

 

Scars cut across their faces,

deep wounds, crazy mascara;

Grant with eyes like Pris,

the replicant from Blade Runner.

 

Lines drawn across their faces

like writing in your Bible;

Slashing the presidents, Franklin,

the bills an unwilling canvas,

looking for counterfeits.
