All That Glitter

It glitters

like gold.

But is it

gold

or base

metal

being worked on

by an alchemist..

undergoing

transformation,

perhaps

with a touch

of magic,

with an elixir

of immortality,

an illusion.

Or perhaps

base oil

transformed

to

sparkly

plastic glitter

with

all too real

immortality.

Glittering,

littering

with

everlasting life,

all that glitter.
