Keeping My Thumb off the Scale


When it is so easy to see selfishness in others,
why is it so hard to see selfishness in me?

If I want to live a balanced life,
it's best to keep my thumb off the scale.

Tag Four

Identity stabs
An icicle in the chest

Molting swans
Beyond cymbals

Porcupine quills
In a blood drawing

Architecture with
An x-acto knife

Snorting pulverized
Glass with each

Grasp to pry
Loose what was meant

By the golden mean
Sty in the eye
