sometimes the truth
of what we say obscures
the untruth
looking at what
motivates my choices
instead of being distracted
by respectable
facades
in the elevator
the large hispanic family
held the door open for me
I smiled at the girl
opening myself in return
all day their
incessant chatter
bothers me
until I notice my own
~ mirrors everywhere
I see an image
of the woman I’d like to be
in my next life
as the sun sets I wonder
if I can be her now
