A time will come in an instant,
When all that seemed important;
Would not need to be told,
As new becomes old.
enamored with the sounds of her own voice
dropping pesky tiresome friends
her mirror doing fine

Pretension, self-love
Dark siblings of vanity
Humility lost!

beauties
unruffled
on a steamy day
float in boats rowed by their beaus
white silken hands folding their fans at sunset
twilight is falling
on the river of Desire
I’m dreaming in vain…
young love never comes to me
by a silent lonely lane
White stretch limo type night.
Parked and awaiting at my front door.
Ready to spring into action.

Flawless painted face
What's behind her makeup mask
Does she even know

Floating on a cloud
Every word you say is white
But your eyes are black
My dear, you are no angel,
Even if you dress as one
Ego between stints -
narcissistic derelicts
scope the classifieds.
Vanity cracks masked mirrors -
Arrogance need not apply.
Upon
vanity
of vanities-
fragile egos will ride
the wind
clasping
brief moments
ephemeral-
that die in tomorrow's
ashes
happiness never settles
she comes slowly smiling
but vanishes in thin air
as you begin to harness it
under your warm blanket
All imported stuff,
imported life in luxury.
ostentatious life?
none of that matters to me
only my life matters...
He swallowed vanity whole,
spit up rhododendrons,
gasped at greasepaint fingerprints—
his own—
finally saw himself:
Clown.
The end of all is vanity,
damnation so accused
The mirror speaking falsely
—of promise purple hued
(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)
On multiple planes
sing infinite socio-bytes
my waters flow pride
as they hide from sorry eyes
my hourglass tears turn to dust
Trump wants an huge Vanity Wall
And it MUST be "Corona" tall
Empty bottles of beer
With adobe veneer
And Mexico pays after all!
a lot of ratatat when you hammer
but ill-fated by design
you nail the buffeting clamour
but slow news filler not main headline
Like a dog digging bone, I hunt stories
Write orgies from words known
With syntax like old men's drone
And metaphors overblown
They spent $7,000.00 each on high quality moisturizer paste.
They would have been more attractive pasting that money to their face.
China grows cotton on the moon!
American scientists swoon!
In spite of it all
Trump's Vanity Wall
Won't burst any cartel balloon!
Modern artificiality:
The woman becomes a clone,
carved throughout.
Estrogen turns to silicone,
art abounds...
Did God damn me?
Am I crazy?
Too often comes the fear
Which I will not hold dear!
Reality and Sanity
Hope they aren't but vanity!
