Le Lotion

I can see you, you’re
Perfect and translucent

You can’t see me, I’m
Unrefined and murky

I know you are looking at me
But you don’t see

Underneath it all
I am better than you

Or that’s what I tell myself
It’s been unclear for so many years

I am closed
But long for real closure

Just take your damn lotion
And apply it

I will stay here
And look right through you

I can see you
Perfect and translucent

You can’t see me
Unrefined and murky
