needs rubbing like
Aladdin lauding his lamp
granting superfluous wishes
to show your public
thin visage, veneered
shellacqued and shiny
waiting for the right ones to
plant a kiss and grow
favorably in your lampglow.
Nurtured by vainglorious need
to be loved and admired
to leave a legacy of your greatness.
Flowering good ones
wilting bad.
Plundering feelings like yesterday's
news lining the dirty bird cage.
Moon-faced Janus
feigned loyalty
mock innocence issued
on a silver platter.
