Narcissus
Greet your mirrors, boys.
No more looking at the smooth
Surface of an ancient pond.
Now, your smartphone camera
Preserves every oil-coated
Muscle on every anatomical
Part of your well-tanned body.
Your pride shows beneath
A black thong or nude
What the heck, why not?
We all look and compare.
There will never be perfection
Until an old man believes
As he sips the wine of youth.
