the grand notions have faded away

their ridiculous postures an embarrassment to pride


and in their place come the simplest truths

that turn our heads in shame


vanity is a mirror...true...but a fun-house mirror at that

so we find with every bump into a reflection


what sweet relief after all the stumbling

to lock the door of your room and look out the open window


at the ordinary world...
