Your ego needs a break
stop staring in the mirror
and taking all those selfies
for strangers. your wardrobe is
stale, humidity can be seen
on your clothes. your hands
need pens instead of those
fake diamond rings.
check your narcissism
at the bar of outdated dreams
writing is an amazing escape
not a word
to the neighbours
who pretend to not read your status.
please stop telling us where you ate
and how beautiful your lie is
your gray is showing
and your husband is too sweet
for your wicked party ways.
I was raised with more heart
than glamour
mended socks
home-made meals
opera singers
so let’s welcome back
humility,
it missed you
while you were
taking another selfie.

or writing is a pursuit–of larger somethings–larger than selfies

Yes, I love this, Eric! Very lovely and profound, Chrissy.:) I couldn’t agree more; there’s much too much narcissism and not nearly enough humility and compassion in the world. Let’s embrace selflessness, everyone!
