i cannot stand
the sight of the idiot
staring at me
from the mirror
a goddamned fool
with no self control
incapable of seeing
what an ass he is

i am embarrassed
by his actions
when all he does
is whatever the faulty
chemicals whisper
slipsliding to and fro
a broken child
to an significant adult
flipflopping between
as everyone averts
their gaze away

i need to hide
stay far away from
any passing stare
too ugly to be wanted
too small to be seen
a human armadillo
rolling toward
the edge of a cliff
