stop it. stop all the burning. it is inconsiderate to casually burst into flames when there are so many frozen in complacency.
don't you understand the inconvenience of this?
you have robbed them of their ease, their contentedness. Thievery. Your skin is flushed, and your heart is flushed, and you are making the comfortable people discontent.
so who has the responsibility
to tame the reflections that get away
were you the one to hold and break the mirror
maybe you dropped it into a casual song
without regard for the listeners.
Listen.
Don't bother chasing the mirror images, crossing left and right and
sweeping to the side of your face.
Don't bother looking. Stop examining.
let them run.
