I Went To The Mirror

In a voice soaked with euphoria：

I went to the mirror this morning

I looked in the mirror instead

The first thing to come into focus

Was a face wrapped all around my head

There's something sticking out of the middle

I guess it's my nose (i suppose)

I just don't recognize those eyes

All these years i've been watching from the other side

The voice is now one of brutal stupefication. the underlying question is - "if

You went crazy, would you know it?"

Uh oh, here i go thinking them crazy thoughts again.

Who is that there? you mean i been walking around

In that all these years? what's it all about?

Where's it all at? i don't want to get heavy but

What am i doing here? uh

My lip has a dark spot upon it

(the voice of a mature adult who's comprehensive

Capacity has suddenly been reduced to that of a

Cherrystone clam)

My teeth look like plastic in chips

And there on my chin i discover

One lonely red and arrogant zit

I went about my business this morning

You got to get out of bed and make that bread

But try as i may to get away

I won't forget what i seen in the mirror today

Boogie on out to a brand new day.

Get off your back and dance!

I seen my eyes. i seen my nose. my lips. my teeth.

My, my gums. i seen my gums! i looked all the way

Down my throat! i looked at my ears. i looked real

Hard at my ears. i looked at my hair. i think i'm going

Bald. i had hair all over the sink or something...
