the photo op

there are some days
that you just can't take a good
picture of yourself.
no matter how close
or far away you hold the camera
you look old
and fat, tired.
your hair isn't right.
you're slouching.
the light is too dark,
too bright.
the ocean behind you
does nothing.
the birds in the sky, the tree.
the city landscapes.
are mere props
in your ill conceived
photo op.
you know you look better
than this.
maybe you'll try again
tomorrow.
