In the Land

I know what you will say but
I do see it is warm today

there is more than enough sun to change the skin

I think I know your tastes and
there is elegance in the monochromatic

a simple pointillism has always been your fashion

I can admit that you
have shown your horde of freckles
in their portrait arrangement
and some minimal skill with ink

some comfort with bare shoulders may be needed
but it could be done with only a ballpoint pen

you could draw yourself
in wire diagram
of yourself
on yourself
to join your own dots
together

I know what you will say but
I worry about the mirrors
and when you ask
if you ask
which of you they will choose

and I do see it is warm today
