Narcissus gets a bad rap.
(What would Narcissus’s preferred pronoun be?)
It’s time for a nap.
Some adults never escape the
trap
of infancy, always expecting to be loved like babies,
but Narcissus’s bad rap
mainly came for being mean to
that Echo chick,
not caring much to be seen by other eyes
(before Venus made them take their long, wet nap).
So... am I on the hook
for owning charms that you can’t see?
Narcissus got a bad rap
for just wanting to get
down to wraps
with their very own reflected body—pretty!
It was time for a nap
The mirror’s glow was in my
lap,
like right after sharing a bourbon toddy
with someone who got a bad rap
for behaving in a madcap
manner, and for having kind of a potty-
mouth to boot, and finally for stealing many a nap
from financial death while
working for high-cap
tech companies from nine till three.
Narcissus gets a bad rap
for their trans-queer selfy-nap.
