i can't stand


I
can't stand in your mirror
    nor you in mine
mirroring brings images to focus
    bounce off in reflections
bedazzlement that embrightens
    the gloom of staring
at nobody in the room
    but yourself
whose light i cannot stand in
    insight ain't inerrantly à propos
0f what we are convinced
    comes like alice's quantum stroll
through the looking glass
    brought to livelier bloom
than is taught
