A SELF-PORTRAIT



He looks into a mirror and
He sees Sparkling teeth as clean
As a sun-bleached orange bright
Piece of paper. Lips as red as
A plain red eraser. Eyes as
Turquoise as a frog and a
Ocean put together. Legs as
Slender as a year-taking wood
Carving. Hair as brown as a beaver
And a night put together.
Freckles as small as a mosquito
Bite from an atom sized
Speed-bumped tongue that
Can taste a mile away. He has
A nose as keen as two dogs
And a bird of prey. He casts
One...more glance at Adam
Bravo.
