Monday Mimisms ~ Sometimes Life Is Tangled
If who we perceive ourselves to be
is the opposite of who we really are
then mirrors don't lie

do
somewhere under this hat
I am most profoundly happy
shade made from stitches
and saltwet fear
I've fallen into the brightness of dawn
to discover that no one on God's green shoreline knows
who I am
it had nothing to do with where I was
or who I loved
it had everything to do
with how

and this hat
know how many lies the mirror told
and stretch out for the bodacious unwinding of a mile-high story or three
somewhere on stable dry land
I'm long overdue for a college-ruled adventure with my trusty No. 2
there's no telling what the untelling will do
because I know her like the back of that brim you see

Beautiful soliloquy, Mimi.
so very lovely
I'm not convinced that anyone really knows anyone anymore...
