Good mirrors are not cheap

It is a waste of time hating a mirror / or its reflection / instead of stopping the hand / that makes glass with distortions / slight enough to pass / unnoticed / until one day you peer / into your face / under a merciless white light / and the fault in the mirror slaps back / becoming what you think / is the shape of your error / and if I am beside that self / you destroy me / or if you can see / the mirror is lying / you shatter the glass / choosing another blindness / and slashed helpless hands. // Because at the same time / down the street / a glassmaker is grinning / turning out new mirrors that lie / selling us / new clowns / at cut rate.
