Mirror is like water, is like me, is like all of it

even the surface of the water
is so still
and I am not a mirror but many
days I am

reflecting others in an attempt
to center myself
and figure out
(the untangling, etc)

all of it is like one thing or another
and I find very little is like itself
I am much better at the measures between
than I am at all the cracks in the bathroom stalls
I caught your fingers in.
