selfie problems

it's getting harder and harder
to take a good
selfie these days.
finding the right angle.
the right light
to minimize your increasing age.
the lines,
the wrinkles, 
the pull of gravity.
i turn left, then right.
i hold the camera up then to
the side.
maybe i'll stand by the water,
or a tree.
i look better than that,
i think. but after all 
it was a rough night.
maybe tomorrow,
i'll give it another try
and send you a picture.
i may even try to smile next time.
