What's Wrong With Me

My breath is rank, My teeth jaundiced, My hair uncombed. My face sullen, Voice like a crow If I had a hall of mirrors I could have a murder, Thousands of raven black wings My beak, our beaks Thrashing. My ugliness will define The only trophy I will ever shine As I sit on the power lines, Croaking out harsh messages To the passerby.

I have no idea what you look like, but I can tell you that the Muses have you in their clutches. I love your picture of the crows sitting on the power lines...oh, sorry, I failed to notice that is you. Oh, well. Nice work, Georgia, keep it up!
