Broken Mirror

A little white lie,

-a small crack in the glass-

Another one saved

from reality’s crash

(/-o-/)

“The laundry is clean”

as it’s under the bed

-the crack has splinted;

you now have two heads-

(/-o-/)

You walk from the store

cigarettes out of sight

-a piece falls on the floor,

shattered and spliced-

(/-o-/)

You look in the mirror

your image is warped

the truth has been broken

by a crack so short
