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

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.
