Modest

Talking to myself
Through you

Reflecting those
Woes of life
Onto you

Projecting these
Half-truths
Like a mirror
At Disneyland

Wishing for
Some surging
Response
To cleanse
This life

Like Katrina

Read the dismay
In each greasy
Strand of hair
Plastered onto
This scalp

Too much for
Medicated
Dandruff shampoo
