Taking stock …


From Memory's Album 

Some eminent Victorian's photo, and you,
Adorned in peach fuzz, think you wouldn't mind
Looking like that some day. And now the day is
This one. And you really could pass
For an eminent Victorian, minus
The industry, accomplishment, elegance,
And, yes, the eminence. Which is fine. It was  only
Ever meant to keep up appearances.
