we're prone to preening.
checking out
our reflection
in the mirror, or a store
window.
we admire
the image of who we
are,
at least to how the world
sees us,
but time changes
all that.
we become fond
of friendly lighting.
dimmed rooms,
shadows,
taking less time to comb
the hair,
put on our mask, we understand
at last
there is more to life
than grooming.
