Imperfect Facsimile
A mirror image
What is it?
I see myself
But it's not really me
As others see me
I see myself
Backwards, distorted
The wrong way around
Things are not as they seem
Yet others hardly see
What's truly inside of me
I walk down paths that lead nowhere
Away from the somewhere
I should be headed to
I see flowers that talk to me
No one else hears them
If I escape the Looking Glass world
I will see myself with clear eyes
Not as others see me
But as I truly am
Because I am the future
And the future looks good
When it's not
A mirror image.

Originally written in March 2024 for "WonderlandOpen in new Window., which required a mirror copy of the text alongside the original. I jumped through hoops and never actually inserted the text itself, only two foggy screenshots. This will now be remediated. To view the freshly clarified mirror poem images, visit Mirror Writing from Angel in Wonderland Open in new Window.
