DEGAS
CAUGHT IN REFLECTION

I think about how to measure the worth of one's self at the weirdest times
Hunkered down studying the lines of my feet
Trimming the faded pink nails
Almost always these clean spare moments
Dash to pieces the crystal sphere of truth
I've held in esteem
Becoming shards that wickedly, in snaggle toothed grinning
Catch my face in reflection
As they lie in final throes
Twitching on the ground
