Sometimes a production
staged as if it’s real
reminds me of a miracle
still a-waiting to be
and the mirror on the wall
reflects a knowing smile
back into the face
of certain disavowal.

To dream and then believe
distorts the real image
but if I were a child
I could be quite inspired
because children take the gut feel
out into the now
and display the very essence
of what’s jiggling down inside.

But a hidden smile down inside
like a diamond in the ground
of no real worth and value
so toss and shrug
what matters is
it once was there inside
before it met the face,
the face of disavowal.
