Who is this man
..who sits across from me –
….I wonder what he sees?
……And most of all
……..I wonder…
……….Why is he staring at me?

…………..Try as I might
…………….I can’t seem to elude
………………his endless watchful gaze
………………..but still, he seems
………………….so familiar;
……………………this man, this face.

……………………..He holds the answers
……………………….to my questions
…………………………I can see it in his eyes.
…………………………..But he just sits there
…………………………silently
……………………….in response to my replies.

……………………As I ask
………………….another question
………………..I hear him mimic my voice.
………………The answers
…………….dance inside my head
…………..then fade away as noise.

……….I’m not even sure
……..from whence he came
……but he sure seems to know.
….Deep inside this looking glass
..this mirror
are the secrets of my soul.
