picture feeds poem
feeds picture
in a self portrait
but not   more
a portrait
of someone
desiring to be
some sum of
other one else
as to Be someone else
Oroborus like too
or a puppy
chasing one's tail
a wearing of mask
playing of part
guffawing through
sincerest tears
until one's insanity
blooms from
its ruptured bud
and finally  after
straightening its tale
asks politely:
is this symbiosis?
  ...or parasites in training?

nice, nice beat, lovely cadence and irony that raises a sweet smirk.
