Fractured Mirrors

If the you
that is aging
skin and
calcifying
boneworks
insists on
comparing
itself to
other
skin and bones,

do so with
a laugh,
preferably
at your own
expense.

Any other
comparing
is likely to
end in
a walk
down
a dark path
lined with
fractured
mirrors.

Comparing
is the
unimaginative
detritus

of the temporary
blindness
that strikes
you
when

you
get out of bed
without
remembering
to wake up

your
ageless
and
ravishing
incomparable
Soul.
