imagine on a dating site the dog's photos are out of date...
or the latest Poem called The Dog's Photos

recently I saw a dog's photos on a dating site,
guess what,
they were out of date…
what does that tell you, the dog has put on weight,
developed some sort of a complex,
is in total denial…
Scary…
the problem with dogs is their relative ages,
it's fine for a woman's photo to be out of date,
but my god, 2 years is a long time in a dog's life,
even I would notice the odd wrinkle and the way
she drags herself out the door.
on the other hand I see a lot of magic mirror photographs,
they get fatter and fatter
is everybody in denial,
like,
that is not a real photo of me,
here is one from 1987
I look much better, it’s just 20 years…

jesus women
get a grip
buy some runners, sneakers
a sports club membership, less food, a mirror
there you are, the Drax Delectable Diet (your diary 2008)
Day 1 - go out and buy a long mirror
Day 14 - take of all my clothes, sneak up on the mirror
it's fine to be deluding yourself,
that’s normal,
not us
your visual appearance is an illusion, yeah, and mostly irrelevant
look away and then in a short moment, the props look the same, the cast is old…
old has style, wisdom, interesting stories, even sex appeal…
yes, there are 39 year old hot chicks…. just teasing girls, just teasing…

for the hardened hacks on the virtual dating platforms
the train called love needs a paint job, breaks down now and then
huffs and puffs up the joyful but sporadic sex hills…
and
most importantly…
has no windows on the pretentious mirror side
a.k.a. …the idiots carriage…
so wave away all you want, nobody cares….
