I look down at my phone
and the camera is rotated
so it’s looking up at me
which at first I don’t think is me
because of all the wrinkled chins
and the pouches of skin
and the way the mouth sags down
which proves it can’t be me
because I don’t feel sad
but then I realize
it is me
and all I can think
with sweeping certainty
is that I will never
be on top
again.
