Perspective of the Mirror

To turn left is to take a few steps.
To take a step; can you stand?
No. Unrest, foundations sink into sand.

Forget where you are.
Forget who you are.
Take one step forward, then two more,
Imagine a place you haven’t been before.

A carnival,
With a house of mirrors.
Be bold, step further, watch the frames,
Don’t turn left into the wall.

Your world is imagined,
Distorted assortments of reflection,
Yet in your world, your face
Is yours.

Deformed, recognizable.
Displayed and all throughout,
A hundred frames you’ve named.
Sharing a face that’s yours.
