Look

The clock
With its
Timeless
Dignity,
Looked at the
Mirror and
Said:
Despite your
Ageless clarity…
Why do you think
People look at you
Less than looking
At me?

The mirror
Stated:
It has to be!
When people
Grow old and
Ugly, they don't
Feel like looking
At me, so they
Look at you more
Than looking at me!
