I look more aged
in my passport size photograph

with these old-fashioned eyeglasses,
and an untrimmed moustache.

I�m not that stoop, either,
maybe the collar button is too tight.

Yet the picture frame managed
to scissor off the hollow
of my amputated arms.

I can hear a little bird tweet
�Maybe, she needs you back�

Obsessed, I am,
with these �maybe�s.
