THESIS

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.
