ah, yes,
the mirror selfie
a work of art, i
contort myself so that i
might become the shape of the letter S
flex here, loosen there,
the angles, the lighting,
ten million tries so that i
might look kinda alright
for four seconds on your screen when
you're away
ten seconds is far too long

and i cut my lungs out
to make me feel thinner
i place them gently on the bathroom counter
so that the S you so desire might come to fruition
i am a work of Picasso's,
bent so irregularly, but
somehow, that looks alright
right?
