beauty sags sooner than time itself

corporal beauty is impractical and

unfeasible: though it attracts, it

also repels and subtracts: it’s the

trap to the trapper.

 

it spins and swings our slacking

slant of self, echoing the strapping

sounds of our ego: when we see

beauty, we see self (i.e. the

craving for self)

 

ultimately, it serves solely

one master: the spell and stretch

of time: visibly, beauty sags

sooner than time itself.

 

stand or stride on beauty and you

shall shake and wobble,

eventually.
