there are no good mirrors
mirrors are full
of morality and preconceived notions
mirrors induce nausea
mirrors take what is true
and turn it around
and around
and around
and around
the more mirrors
the merry-go-round
the kids who get their heads stuck
spinning in time
with turnaround mirrors
there are no good mirrors
leave them behind
with the roundabout children
breaking turnaway faces
to wear the new ones
they've taken
newly born to turn-of-phrase places
all made of glass
all walking a thread
hauling D-I-Y lies
every give-it-up day
there are no good mirrors
only bad-for-you windows
