faces of edna

edna had as many faces
as she had in hat
she would wear one face on this day
and another one on that

on this day, just the sunny face
on that day, just the frown
one this day, with the nose upturned
on that day with nose down

her friends would never recognize her
unless she warned them in advance
sometimes she'd switch out faces
at intermission at a dance

a semi truck jumped off the street
smashed her face closet in the hall
and the one face she has remaining
is the most unflattering one of all
