Nodding in the dark

A mirror can't lie
to an old, sagging body
to the wear & tear
to the mileage

the cruel truth
of a reflection
makes mankind
think of change

present, future and past

and in such cases
the answer often
fools the question
with the sad excuse
named vanity

crumbling insanity
fed by the lavish nipple of
"not wanting to let go"

it all happens
in that split second
before I switch off
the bathroom lights

nodding in the dark.

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
