lips and ears

I am going to start wearing my earrings again.

Once upon a time, lipstick was the makeup essential. "Hang on while I put on some lipstick," my grandmother would say, before she would venture out to the mailbox.

Lips are alluring. Mouths and lips are sensual. We highlight our lips with liner and lipstick.

We (often) hide our ears with our hairstyles.

Yet, I'd like to listen more, and speak less.

So, I shall make it a month of earrings.

You've got my ear- see?
