Interview with a Mirror

by chicker2

Reception, deception, conception, reflection (reflexion)

Criticize, oversize, otherwise, disguise

Lips, hips, toss the chips, these trips

break, take, make, for heaven’s sake

Look, in the book, find a nook, crook shook

Race, pace, face, replace, encase, erase

Pain, swimming brain, drain, feels like rain, crane

over the sink, pink, stink, be the link

between, unseen, careen, serene, I mean this scene,

it’s here, my career, tear, steer, near the year

of eviction, conviction, addiction, can’t function at the

junction where it’s wrong + right; fight, I bite, go fly a kite

way out of sight into the night. quite

so, show, foe, mow, beau, low, to know is to grow, tomorrow

the latter will shatter, and clatter, does it matter? the

shards scatter over the cards, bards, shout for yards. a

hand, screams a demand, reprimand,

take the land by a force right on course, show

no remorse, from the source because a certain

gland, held together by a strand, so bland it’s

planned to flood, blood, like mud, how does it

feel? to see skin peel, reveal, something real

no deal if I steal away and kneel, lift up

a prayer, is anyone there?  I hate my hair, it’s not

fair, no care, just bare right where

smile, mile, Queen of the Nile, crocodile perched on

a stile, that’s vile, while

away, hey, stay, okay, you may, one day, not

black and white but gray, see a ray through

jeers, leers, cheers, fears, beers, dears, ears

queers, seers, rears, and peer into the clear

beyond the mirror.
