Vanity Unfair
Vanity is everything.
Shopping malls
Bingo halls
Magazines
Social scenes
Big Box stores
Righteous wars
Vanity is everything.
Cars and bars and moisturizer jars
scream desperation
in a shallow nation.
Botox faces
Weight-loss races
Illuminate our insecurities.
Everything is vanity.
Talk show hosts
Web log posts
Oscar night
Divas fight
Huge TVs
Spending sprees
Everything is vanity.
Insanity

promotes heart-speak

I can’t believe my line still works
So beautiful the way they hang

A mirror she wore on her wrist.
And the reflection was constantly kissed.
She had one on a ring too.
So her delicious face
by Lori Wyman
“I’m fine,” he’d quip,
talking on,
giving me lip.
He can’t admit,
his problems or fears.
