Cheat Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Cheat

Am I one, only me,
Enjoying such cheating?

Am an old man,
Two third of a century.

And in love with cheating,
My victim is just me!

I cover my secrets,
From me, my brain.

Actors are not perfect,
Close my eyes, pretend,
Deep inside, I know well!

Mirrors are partners,
I stand firm, stare,
Teeth are first,
Then I shave,
Brush hair.

Touch my cheeks,
Eyebrows, eyelashes,
And smile satisfied:
"You look well! "

But I know,
Yes, I do, in detail,
I am a fool, a cheater!

A jar of foolishness,
Behave like an actor,
Do not see my wrinkles,
And ignore my baldness,
Borrow hair from a side,
And lend it to the other! ! !

I freeze, hate the mirrors,
They dig deep, are blades,
Open wound of dumbness!
