Blind is Better

Find someone young and attractive 

Before you're old and disgusting,

Isn't that the drill?

That's what I was always told

When I was crawling

Stumbling

Failing at life,

Vanity takes center stage

And follows us hitherto 

Wherever we go,

Mirrors are everywhere

And billboards wash the brains

Of others who disagree,

Our older selves might regret

Not making that connection

When the opportunity arose

Due to our eyes not liking

What the brain loved,

We'll all be old soon,

Weathered and drenched

In timelines

Wishing we could still bottle beauty

For our own selfish conclusions,

I've always focused on the brain

Rather than the body, myself,

Leading me into a contusion

But who am I to say what's what,

A subjective sentence 

Follows a constant question mark

Skipping pages like smooth stones

in a creek where we were fantastic lovers

holding each others punctuation

on the tips of our tounge
