like a vanitas painting
face in a mirror
selfie photo
all so
ephemeral
transient
impermanent
before it's too late
let us contemplate
that skull
how brief this life
comes like a thief
alas
lass
Vanitas Vanitatum Omnia Vanitas
(George de La Tour: The Magdalene with the Mirror)
laurel
crown
jester's crown
don't frown
or feel down
more mere bubbles
burst & bring their own troubles
