Not Ready for My Close-Up

My teeth have gotten crooked.

My eyes sport puffy bags.

My lashes lost their lushness

And my neck, once taut, now sags.

 

My wrinkles now have cousins

Come to line my washed-out skin,

But it isn’t any mirror that

Reveals the shape I’m in.

 

For that white-haired older lady,

Peering back across the room,

Is the way the whole world sees me

When I’m on the screen on Zoom.
