As I look at me,
rounding face, less pronounced than past.
Tell: "Looking good hair."
Tired or sad eyes...both tonight.
Flat-lined lips,
pressed but not clenched.
This is now.
Now is gone, seconds ago, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years...
This was me.
-----------------------------------------------
Chocolate Mocha
in a small white mug
dappled around with
a fox that looks like a rabbit,
a baby blue elephant,
a bear with a red afro...or is it a lion,
around the bend
a cow,
a goat,
and there's the bear.
All present and staring with itty blue eyes,
watching me drink my hot chocolate.
This is me tonight.
