into which I am supposed to look,
but, if there were these mirrors,
what I would do I cannot say, as
I am not one for personal reflection,
nor am I one for self-indulgence,
even though there have been times
of sadistic self-incrimination;
life gets as good as it can sincealternatives are unacceptable
and if it wasn't what it was, it
would always be something else
beyond understanding or control;
the strings of life jerk repeatedly
at expectations and perceptions
that have been laid out before us
as if it were a buffet laundry list
and we feast until our mental
bellies are full so we we retire with
smiles and all but dead attitudes.
