CONFRONTATION

The naked woman in the mirror
stands behind him
as if she has
something in her hands
she finds difficult to
show him.
Or does she want
to turn him
to himself?
But he doesn't
look at himself,
only at her.
What would he see
that he doesn't want to know?
Does she still deserve
the blandishments she
took too seriously?
Be gone with
love's delusions! he thinks
and daren't ask the
mystery of her distant downcast eyes
Ah! Just as he is about
to snap off the lights
to end this precious little scene
she holds up the broken TROJAN!

hapless fate?
or secret scheme????
