If I don’t look into the mirror,
I both do and do not have a reflection.
Thusly,
I both am and am not a vampire.
Sure I walk in the day,
But vampire mythology is different
depending on who you ask.
Besides I don’t often show my skin
And I burn easily in the sun.
I’m no stranger to superpositions.
I happen to be in several.
Were I to hear of a cat in a box
I would simply walk away.
After all,
what would I do with an answer?
If I were Orpheus,
I wouldn’t look back.
Not because I didn’t love Eurydice,
but rather if I don’t turn around,
there's still a chance she’s there.
Damocles may well have had,
a sword hanging over his head.
But what good would come,
from looking up?
I’m sure he knows.
If I don’t look into the mirror,
I won’t know what I am.
Which means that,
if I cover my eyes,
there’s still a chance
that I’m her.
