Lament
Would that LIFE were like the magazine
each article proof read
buffed and polished to a fine sheen
edited and re-edited
pictures cropped as needed
photo shopped perfection
at odds with the “camera”.
A full faced “lie” on the cover
reveling in “romantic recall”
basking in the loneliness
of the present.
