Reflections

Objects in the mirror may be...

Here's to seeing myself as I really am

At an unattractive moment

But that's no reflection me

***

I need to polish my image

But it'll be my image that I polish

I'll be shinier but it won't be me

***

I can't pass by without looking

If I don't pass, he doesn't pass

And the person inert is me

***

The one looking back is left, for right

But those in the back looking over my shoulder

Are right-to-left and right to leave

***

I'll never accept what I see

Unless I close my eyes

And that's a reflection on me

Retired, not tired. Hippocampus, behave!

Make me rich! https://www.amazon.com/Gerard-DiLeo/e/B00JE6LL2W/
