i’m not convinced standing here



being so I move a little nearer



and graze my hand along my face



to watch it trace



the contours in the mirror








the only part that fits the picture



are my eyes unstubborn and resigned



form the image I thought to see



sad staring back to me



the rest is resolute, is well defined








i’m worrying standing here



and I stare into the white



i stare and stare and stare



rest my head against the clear



and head to head I fear








head to head against my doggie’s fur



i rest it there and let him purr



and I realize the pointlessness in



being surprised



when someone says they’ve let you in








my doggie says that everyday



and wags his tail and gets his way



i think he might be my only friend



i mean I hit him harder than I should say



but he just smiles n'begs "again, again"
