Chalk Up Another One


So, you put another notch
On, whatever it is, you put your notches on.
That's fine.
That mark you made
Has made itself on you.
Indelible ink tattoos your brow,
A living reminder,
For all those times
You'll check your look in the mirror.
Another furrow deepens,
Another day, another dollar,
Another paltry attempt at being real.
