haggard and black eye circled,
I stood before her,
(in the special silence of the shocked
"I can't believe what I'm seeing")
The Goddess Witch of the Bathroom Magic Mirror,
in my awoken normal deplorable e-state,
taking a poll of the the toll
the working years had blessed me with,
crow's feet nests, red eye eggs, and forehead furrows
colloquially called the Mississip-pis,
saggy used as a compliment,
rotunda my unsupine fecund shape,
as in,
"what a nice generous cowling^ you have!"
a nose that looked clown-borrowed and improperly affixed,
looking like the wreckage of a ship
that accidentally crashed
into a harmless oil tanker
a three-times-my-size destroyer
named Life
the bathroom mirror looked upon me
with haughty askance,
imputing and impugning my
raggedy Andy human exterior,
until it at last
laughed so hard,
it cracked into a 1000 pieces
as shards bloodied my hands
and now, in addition,
checker-boarded my scraggled unshaven cheeks,
a voice from the bedroom screeched:
*did you ask again the mirror
who's the fairest
in all the land
*********
Warned you,
she hates when you take
advantage of her,
with your white male privilege,
calling her,
**The Goddess ***** of the Bathroom Magic Mirror**
clearly a simple case of mistaken identity,
upon looking in the mirror at myself
all I growled was
***"you one ugly pasty white son of a *****
