mirror

not on the wall
but as my vision -
looking around this town,
opposites reflected.

words come slow.
eyes opening.
feelings of calm-
ness.

this
mess
deepens
and yet
time is
inconsequential,
not linear as we
tend to see it.

you can record a
moment or two through-
out time, but is that
an accurate reflection
of who the person is?

yea, all have sinned.

i look into the mirror
on the bathroom wall i
see my reflection in a
dirty car window, or a
rear view mirror.

everything
retracts
into
chaos
averted.

a snap-shot moment is
accurate and inaccurate
at the same time because
who sees the picture in
exactly the same way?

the words start, conversation
quiets - chatter from the tele-
vision - i do not know - j'na
say pa - j'ne sais pas - i
can't remember the combination
of letters at the moments, but
maybe i recall the sound and i
can give some of that to you -

let the poetry commence.
