The person you've become on full display.
Be it papier-mâché or encased in gold
the material doesn't reflect the story told.
Neither even does the pose
it merely is that moment froze.
In a space in time
all things can change
and everything about you can re-arrange,
becoming each part
of the world that you view,
life then begins to reflect you.
