Narcissus

How Narcissus
Admiring his reflection 
In the water 
Must have felt, 
Captivated by his own beauty.

What with selfies having replaced pools of water and mirrors, now people can be narcissists 24/7 --- and many are!

Yes, like many, he was fixated with his personal beauty and appearance! Your end line says it all. Regards // paul
