updating the selfie for instagram

i blame
this more recent bad selfie
of me
on the lighting,
it's early in
the day,
and i just got out of bed.
i'm not in
a good mood.
i haven't even taken
a shower or
had my first cup of coffee,
but mostly it's the lighting
that's making
me look
less attractive than i used
to be, say
fifteen years ago.
what's up with my eyebrows,
my nose,
my neck?
so maybe i'll wait
until the sun's down,
and i'll stand farther back
this time
before i hit the button
for a new selfie pic.
