Your Twinkling Gaze

You seemed to slip, showed me your gaze in a mirror,
With appropriate pride and that one pinch of fear.
It would have been easy, to confuse determination
With its creepy-close cousin, caution's cuckoo, desperation.
“It's normal,” you tell me. “That's how girls act these days,”
As though you think you might drive me away.

But I never did conflate vanity with sanity.
It's a good try, but you can't get rid of me so easily.
