faces
Don't make me play outside
I'm scared
All the other kids have collapsible faces
They twist their noses like this and then
Their cheeks collapse
You can tie them
closed with a strip of velcro.
They laugh at me
Because I can't do it
Even if I suck my cheeks in really hard
And never breathe
So don't make me play outside, mum
I'll just stay here
And watch TV
With my face open.
