And so I had found my cup of tea<br />
In the table of the hatter.<br />
Self-Portrait<br />
Michelle Costanza<br />
I never did paint<br />

My mirror image,<br />

As my oddities resound<br />
From this seven by two<br />
To this five foot four,<br />
From these cross eyes<br />
To the closet door.<br />
I never did paint<br />
My heavy skull,<br />

My eyelids‟ pull.<br />
I never did believe<br />
<strong>The</strong> words that stumble<br />
Outside the mind<br />
Of a stranger so humble.<br />
So I take to a pen<br />
With lines rightfully sloppy,<br />
For I must turn away<br />
