Funhouse. circa 2000
He felt absolved by his reproduction
a mirrored funhouse
but just the doorman
plastered and tethered to each window
scrapings of her writing, ideas and
fleshy pieces of her disposition
clung to each worn mirror
although they hand me downs
they stood proudly
in their keepers maze
resolved by their given personas
their smiley name tags
and spitting image replications
if not for goading
they would shatter
although none would retire
for fear the circus would not return
what of nothing else but mirrors did reflect
among those some altered
fashioned with speakers, like parrots
replicating, pleading, loathing, not yet confused
excited to see her, speak to her
a boys favorite playground
the mirrors of the girl in the mans funhouse
under inspired and tyrannically tired
the girl played here too
due to the clowns…
A dream come true
friends
just like you.
