Studying
The
Reflected
Image

Tufts
Of snow-white
Hair
Atop a balding
Head

A roadmap of
Lifelines
Crisscrossing
Every inch
Of
The face

Gnarly hands
Resting upon hips
At
An ever expanding
Waistline

Quickly
Reaching out
To touch
The mirror’s surface

Instantly
His
Inner child
Surfaced

Smiling back
At him

Still
Alive and well

He had plenty
Of
Designer outfits
And
A hunky physique
To boot

But
Ken finally snapped
When Barbie
Pulled up the driveway
In her
Brand new

Staring into

Staring into

Staring into

Staring into

Staring into
