Bastard Vanity
An ugly mirror works miracles with
blemishes on the mind's underside, which
escapes the eye of the subject and its
tendency to assume itself "normal".
Its resplendence surrenders to hours,
days, years spent neglected; glass made sour
by one idle reprieve turned eternal.
Learning to reflect more infernal truths,
it becomes unwanted and forgotten -
left just to glorify the clouding dust
that kicks up whenever a door is shut.
