You

You eat handsomely, feel great,
And are surprised when others remain hungry. Fortunately

You don’t use mirrors: you find them
Ugly to look at; so instead

You laugh as you point
Through windows: “Look at them starving! There’s nothing to them!” Back out

Through the glass they take no notice
Of you—“Nothing great

In there. Nothing surprising to see!”—as they remain
Famished and reflective.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
