wake up and smell the mirrors—
"see what you can take back, and scratch, scratch, scratch."
skin itches like fire—burn, burn, burn.
the poison flowers manifest.
model slowly, and—learn, learn, learn.
down-turned flowers find rotten skin,
poison back through the veins again.

"what's the magic number that these many men will live?"
swimmin' deep in hypnotic blue, "what is it that you believe?"
"what answer from your deepest dark?"
"let's test your mouth."

magic seed and magic leaves
magic mud and magic bone.
"go get that out the car, and run, run, run."
"who's there?"
"run quick."
"don't get caught sneakin' around."
young lover scream at his older wife.
outside the car,
in the hollow parking lot.
just hours before,
the same song for another, younger gal—
he loves his mirror's wife in his mirror's world.
