Vanity Case
do you want introspection?
do you want a verbal autopsy?
a case of vanity
or just a vanity case?
two tablets of sanity
and a celluloid face
do you want belief,
a look above,
knowing that the truth lies beneath
do you want introspection?
do you want a messy divorce?
a case of vanity
or a vanity case?
James Garratt – August 2001
