Vanity

who's looking at me?
how long has the gaze held?
am I seen as efficient (in my word choices)?
tell me I'm _____.

it will be better than a clean mirror.
I look and I see _____,
but I'd like to be sure (and reminded).

grammarians, don't come here;
you'll have things to say that I don't want to
hear. neither musicians, my rhythm is new
(and I won't remember it);

semi-
colon separation,
because these two halves
might add up
to more than I put down;
only if you tell me so.
