Self Portrait.
I've got no lemon tree in my garden, only
an orange tree bearing fruit too dulcet for
my taste. Long for something cutting that
reflects life's bitter/sweet nature. Once I was
stopped in the street and asked about my
political opinions. The following day my
face appeared in the news where I spoke
gibberish for 2,5 seconds and not15 min.
Strands of hair flying in air, looked old too
and the handsome image I carried around
of myself fragmented into dust of middle age.

I always thought I was a rather handsome fellow myself in the mirror every morning, till I saw myself on a news broadcast as well
(I was A Cop) and then I realized, My mirror had been lying to me for years. But, my oranges are sweet and I planted a lemon tree just for balance! Smiles!
