I never claimed to value life-
However, it’s crept upon me that it must be true.

As a passing fancy, I used to wonder which
of your severe ovations, which
of your overstated exaltations I could even stomach.
Weighed down by the glorious rhetoric
you’d adorned me with, I wasn’t sure
I could even parse the two sides of my bathroom mirror.
