Note to My Selfie Pantoum

For you flatter me in your casual dimension:
In black and white or filtered with color,
Framed for someone. Oh, I forgot to mention,
On social media you make me look duller.

In black and white or filtered in color,
I see you see older me, but I’ve improved
On social media. You make me look duller
With a blurry grin that needs to be removed.

I see you see older me, but I’ve improved
Myself from my toes up to my wiser face
With a blurry grin that needs to be removed
For a cold and frozen digital embrace.

Myself, from my toes up to my wiser face,
I need no whitening edit. No improvement
For a cold and frozen digital embrace -
I will hold this camera for your amusement.

I need no whitening edit. No improvement.
Framed for someone - oh, I forgot to mention,
I will hold this camera for your amusement -
For you flatter me in your casual dimension.
