Poems and Prose #105 - Polished

Trickery abounds,
what with all the
echoless sounds
and the damp
coffee grounds
and the tiny puffs of air
that weigh a million pounds,

fooling me enough
to reflect back to me
a shameful face
when I glance into
that mirrored plate
that hangs in front of
my freshly-empty safe
and reminds me that
I'm still in this place.
