Lipstick

Pretty girls carry pretty purses
and lipstick
just in case.

I carry lies and whispers
in my purse.

They rattle like spare change
when I walk.

Loved it!! my lies and whispers spill out of my head and bleed on the page.

Intelligent, fast, elegant, and then the final couplet rattles, but I imagine that is the intention.

[Elizabeth]

It was. Thank you for the compliment and for picking up on the nuance.

Lies and whispers. I might just have to plagiarize that.

[Mr. Revan]

So.. you carry a cover ID,
Silenced Walther pistol,
and a stick of lipstick that has a small recording device in it...

the way i see it, the "Whispers"are for just in case.

;)
