behind her years
beyond her ears
WHERE
laughter and tears
shouts and cheers
locks and gears
the domain
of loss and gain
TILTS
toweringly toward
the latter
but how are you graded?
and if you traded
ten selfies for one true friend
you would get a better blend
of art and reality
of ha ha ha
and HAstility
behind and beyond
the eyes
lurks the big prize
but the true artist
can vary its size
and when walking
on the flying trapeze
know when
NOT to sneeze
but ALWAYS
when to copyright
good night
sweet K
I've nothing
more to say
