All is vanity…



Soft tendrils of silky narcissism+
wrap you ’round like a cocoon+.

Never reaching chrysalis+, you’re stuck,
wondering why nothing fundamental changes.
“The world for you,” is a comfort…

Eternity urges from within+, unable to penetrate
thin but powerful veil+, covering eyes of unreason
that won’t see, even though you know it’s true.

You shuttle again to the mirror,
avoiding pupils of beautifully irised+ eyes…+
