a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma

a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma

A Poem by Philip Gaber

The paparazzi gathered around me,

quoting my facial expressions.

 

I was pleased to see that my furrowed brow

did not make the morning headlines.

 

However, they completely took my

pursed lips out of context.

 

And I was not

staring with brooding, sullen anger,’

 

Nor was I

taking sidelong glances or glowering with hostility.’
