We've all sadly found ourselves
old, and in doing so
have lost our beauty--
I'm a casualty for
believing in time too, tho
I was made to
at early ages so that
I wouldn't follow the setting
sun home but the dying street lamps
and the ticking wall clocks,
so that I'd stand in line silently
so that I'd wrinkle and starve
and shrink and die leaving only
lies for the future--
I realized we were all finished
today in the mirror while I
brushed my rotting teeth.
