Modern Narcissus
Reflections in the Mirror
toy things that conflicts
project out on to
manipulate reflections
and Master one's self.
A dancing shaman,
a string-less wooden puppet
searching to be real,
a skewed past-trecked path
diverged into complexes
like domino falls
and shamans dancing
licking licking fire flames
and grabbing moon beams
laughing subjective
at opposite objectives
reflected subjective
in looking-glass worlds.
Where Alice fell inside out
and drank mad-laced tea
and met sleeping kings
dreaming her to existence.
Bootiful soup songs
and lobster quadrilles
where Cheshire cats led backward
back to inside out;
to these.... objective
looking-glass worlds seen subject
with shamans dancing
projecting conflicts
onto things to master, mold,
and create anew.
