Has many friends
Standing profile smile or naked stark
Far or close
The stream of admiration never ends
It’s all about the timing and the lighting
The bold and the frightened
Like love
You see what you want to see
And for a while
They become
Who you want them to be
For a while could be a long time
With light at the end of your tunnels
In your private personal coal mines
An accident just waiting to pounce
Weighing in with and regarding
Your every pound and ounce
The mirror in the dark
A time-machine
Of the past future and present
Ready to tell you
How it is
And how it isn’t
Dark mirror
Dead mirror
Don’t yell at me your truth
Don’t look at me
While I am looking at you
And
No matter how soft or hard you look
It will always be the same
If vanity be your name
Drape the mirror
Lighten your load
You still have miles to go
On your lovely beautiful rocky road
