WITH FUMBLING DISDAIN

Folder: 
JOURNAL #12

arched brow of disbelieved muse

waves soberly astride the pug nose's bridge

offering nary even a shadowed hint of excuse

as to why it stands up so suspicious and

unapologetic

like an ocean sandbars ridge

partaking in a gathered rage of ill gotten

proportion

as little if anything is won in the way of

absorption

preen now oh mighty vanity

in this so teenager like gaze

but put this highly questionable me that

I see before ye in its pathetic yet oh so

proper place

which would be out of mine misery in this

ghastly but necessary phase

yet far too shocked in the moment to see

beyond such a negative blaze............

(April 7, 1994 am)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

beyond discontent with what it was at this time that I perceived to see of myself in my vanity's mirror ( vanity how appropriate a term for a mirror's table eh?)
