Old Mirror

Old Mirror

Her eyes sparkle
just before she nails her jokes
her words
clever
funny
mostly dry.

Listen
really listen
‘cause one might whiz by whooooooshhhhhhhhh like a gust of wind
and the smiles
the laughter
lost.

Lately her eyes
dart back and forth
an old mirror warps her words sTill cleVer
sTill fuNNy
sTill drY.

But now reflects the residue
of disappointments.
