Two-Person Selfie

It would seem disingenuous for bloggers, many of whom practice a form of daily verbal selfies, to object to the photographic practice that goes by the same name; nevertheless, somewhere between vanity and envy is the realization that people used to have to find strangers to take their pictures, and often did.

SELF-POSED

I wish I that I could ask
The ancient Oracle at Delphi
To explicate that wonder of
Our modern times: the selfie.

I’d try, myself, to say
But I’m afraid I’ll seem un-gallant:
They’re kind of a like a self-portrait,
Except, without the talent.
