*Mirror! Mirror!  On the wall Though art the cause of many a fall What with them endless hours adjusting and re-adjusting Visages to desired perfection mindless of the misgiving. Wearing masks in a variety of color In a bid to entice a bachelor With whose heart she’ll most disconcertingly hold ransom Anticipating a blossom Of a methodically engineered relationship Minding her speech lest a Freudian slip Nips at the bud Her good “fortune” exposing her as a fraud. Perfect imperfections, perfectly mirrored By an imperfect mirror…*absurd.
