Vanitas Print

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

death

comes like a thief

alas

lass

laurel crown
jester's crown
don't frown
or feel down
more mere bubbles
burst & bring their own troubles
