Just 'Cause

[wavemaker9 (Rick D.)]

Gleaning the ricochet
off the frosted vanity mirror,
posing its soaked self to seem
closer than it appears,
the load of years
of fears over ruled
that tooled its reflection,
and schooled its protection,
ruled its objection
to the inherent change
of living things
tenderly futile,
but humorous.

[mfwilkie]

Ah, yes! You just kill me!
How are ya, I ask, still laughing,
