If the hunch
you lust
to prove
is tough—
that's probably
because
you're up
too close.
For instance—I just
got done
longing—
to suspect
that every lonely
mirror—out there
in the world
unexamined
as such
by a figure (like me
who needs—
from the
first—so much!
to be there)
cannot just-
ly exist
as a mirror
one bit!
Only—I didn't
know how
to think that
with justice
because I realized
I'm always
either standing—far,
far,
far too much
out-front
of such things
or else—just
in-front enough.
