I agree with Dave & Phil, especially the former on the belatedness of the
self-image. I a, still, after some years, surprised to see all that grey
hair there, when I 'know' it's dark etc. How slow the mind is at keeping up!
Amd yeah, those images in the tiny screens in the bank are a tad upsetting
too, although the more one sees of them the more one might get used to
seeing oneself more or less as the rest of the world does...

Late night
resurrection of a forgotten love, a vanished
civilization, where the waning moon is the
accusational eye of a discarded lover. . . .
Love's absence
is still love, the heart a celestial wound.
