Daddy long legs

Daddy long legs

You should take photos of yourself,
then hate them.

She staccato blu tack slaps
pictures of her pores up on the bathroom tiles.

She cross examines
the magnifying mirror for mistakes

She cuts out the others’ arms,
just in shot, at an angle,

makes a tracing paper A frame
of all the other faces,

ridged as toenails.
