Funny Mirrors

Journey filled alliances
with unmasked continuity
flutter by
like translucent butterflies
blindly ensuing makers
of the repulsive dollar and coin.

The importance
of the insects’ unimportance
drives us through rush hour
pondering the suited man
picking his nose
or the obese teenager
belting her memorization
at the windshield wipers.

Alliances are decorated with colors
as a trip to buy 1% milk
is entertained
by a 5 year old boy
lurking amongst the dairy section,
and his Mexican mother
bellowing in spanish
“No, you cannot have the yogurt!”

Tomorrow,
the bathroom mirror
with specks of hard water and Crest
should revert to
a funny house mirror
distorted like the carnivals they live in,
so we might find ourselves to be
translucent butterflies
with noted alliance to
the bright color
of the Mexican woman.

Would rush hour be different
if dollars and coins
could buy only
funny house mirrors?

Then,
would dollar and coin
and the obese teenager
seem less repulsive?

Be colorful.
Buy a funny mirror.

mable_sue,
Very neatly done. I like your perception of the world.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
