the false self

for some
it's the mirror. the image of
the body.

the face.
the hair. it's the false self.
the polish

of the external that keeps
them well.
keeps them safe

from truth.

while others it's money.
it's a green
bouquet

in their wallet.
with money, what can go wrong.
who can
say

less about them.
they have what others don't
and that makes

all the difference.
