the world over women wear makeup
it amazes me how it seems instinctive
programmed into the female psyche
to attract a desirable partner
it may be just all for procreation
the continuation of the species
like it is for all the other species
seemingly without romantic love
this makes me wonder if it’s all
only for keeping the river of
millions and millions of people
continuously populating and flowing
I’d rather it was all for romantic love
and that this romantic love continued
unbroken and forever in the afterlife
but sometimes I wonder what the
makeup and the love is all about
