this mirror also has two faces

vanity
even if only to the degree
of self-respect
in some
is but a convenient excuse
in others
not to practice good hygiene

Had to read it twice to make sure not to impose my expected ending on yours. I have been guilty of such vanity, especially in my youth. Good work. Cheers.

Hi Chris. Terrific bit of philosophy here. Seems to me we have but one escape from our old selves and that ancient mirror, and that is to see a different self, in the mirror of someone elses eyes. Very thoughtful, indeed. Thanks.
