Selfie Reflections - -  for the POETIC MIRROR SELFIE COMP

 


I avoid mirrors and reflections
I am always caught off guard
With the picture the show me
I look then quickly look away
Who the fuck is that fucker?
Shit he is something to look at
What the fuck happened to him
What happened to his fuckin legs
Thank fuck he’s not like me
I repulse me; can’t explain it
I gag and often cry like a child
A real man no longer
A professional cripple
On electric wheels
Moves very quickly
Head down no eye contact
‘Please don’t see my reality’
‘See me as the man I was
Because in my mind I am’
If you want a photo
If you want a selfie
Only above the waist
Is allowed
