Self Portrait

hungry face
snaggle-tooth
slouching in a 
vinyl booth

droopy face
fixed my teeth
head in hands 
money screen

is my hair still red
or wire?
do I still evoke desire?

jeans, converse, Peter Pan
I should get those dishes done

future me is Cubist 
Eating fish with triscuits

the truth is age is like a comeback
childhood stays affixed and the rest slides around
would you believe me if I said I've never minded any of it?
just been playing along because I liked the sound
