And god saw that it was Good.
When man invented the curiosity
called the mirror
God first smelled its
abomination
Man could now see
his robust frame tremble while pulling in air
his strong limbs translate his lust,
stagger in skin bound beauty
but Man could also view his
animated
ugliness,
the nervous flicker in his wandering eyes
the obscure curl of his lip forming a curse
man could now watch himself lie
betray his age.
Man could finally see and therefore knowhow small
he truly was.
