nameless poem thing

Loafer · 01-13-2001, 11:27 PM

Green tile floor scrubbed sparkling clean
Slick as dew, in its glare I see you
Staring down at me
Behind my back, a wraith on my shoulder
Is it clean enough for you?
Can�t you see yourself as well as you see me?
Your still form, watching, looking, evaluating, measuring
Never revealing
What I leave bare for the world to see
And so I scrub and I sweep and try to please
But I�ll never know just how you feel
And you�ll know everything there is to know
about me.

face I had before the
world was made....**

**Work like you don't
need money, love like
you've never been hurt,
and dance like no
one's watching.**
