I've been looking
myself up
it's one part
narcissism
two parts
reassurance
an interviewer came
yesterday
she had done her
research
and I just wanted to
check
which of me
she was hoping to meet
It's two parts
narcissism
one part reassurance
lining up all my
reflections
to see if they match
wondering if
the sum of my
digital replications
is greater
than my actual self
I've been reading my
own blog
remembering my
grandmother
who confessed
to composing poetry
in the privacy of
the toilet
and weeping over
their beauty
it's three parts
narcissism
:) great last stanza!
ReplyDeleteTerrific poem. I love the striking contrast between today's poet and the grandmother poet - weep for her.
