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!
