Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

selling ourselves

animals in high heels 

sent through space and

time

no one sees the heels

but everyone 

feels

them


in the side

in the head


words make enough of 

the picture

but pictures make it

too


fudging our

personalities 

to impress other

avid fuckers


we all feel

just a bit whore-ish

but we embrace this new

day and 

age


but we fudge on that too


I strive to be honest

being lazy with

so much else-

lazy becomes a pattern


maybe I want to

sell

myself

too

◄ ate my heart

here's to not looking at you ►

Sharp thinking expressed in very astute imagery. The personal 'I' works really well here, implying the universal 'you, too?' Often 'I' can be self-indulgent, but you skilfully avoid this pitfall.
