Narcissism

Narcissism
A good day the mirror in the hall said I looked smart
 except that, I was bald and had yellow teeth. No, 
do not do this the mirror said when I was unbuckling 
my belt feared to be whipped said I had nice skin.
The feminine said of me mention lipstick it would not 
come amiss; she thinks happiness involves makeup 
I flexed my arm muscles and them mirror was mortified 
closed its reflection and went blank I walked into 
the vacant space turned around my god, who is this old geezer 
preening himself?
