Mirror me

[matsunosuperfan]

A crisis almost broke me: I realized 
I’d spent my whole life talking
with others, when I could have been 

talking to myself. 


What would that be like? 
What would happen
if I liked it? 


And what if I did not? 


Many times when speaking to another
I would question their sincerity
but in this new path lying

would be futile


because the one listening
would already know
the truth

Experimentation is where the new
forms - how far could this go? 


Will I tiptoe around myself 
finding out the wildered borders 
of my land

and who should guard the walls?


If there is an incursion,
who will follow
and will I discover

who is governor, and who resides? 


I wonder if I consider myself
friend or foe, if a mirror 
a real mirror

would help me break the ice.


Should I shower
before starting? Would I achieve more
with the doors and windows

open, or closed?
