Trick Mirror from Fool by Brooks Strause

Obscure this viewer, voyeur see
Incriminate this victim
Disprove the rumor, motive free
And now to contradict him

Mirror trick mirror
Blush in disgrace
Mirror trick mirror
Laugh in my face

Distort this figure, clownish man
Now waddle to your mother
Exalt a stranger, butcher than
The imp who was your lover

Pomp
Scheme pity
Have a nightmare for a while when you are ready
Strip
Brush shoulder
Make a prisoner of desire if you can hold her
Fact
Shill token
Slam the window on the World where you were broken
Sink
Cool scion
There's a plethora of rags for you to try on

Chrome show me this ricochet
The world reversed in your display
Graceful curves to prove grotesque
The visage here, surface expressed
Yet I stepped up and faced my fate
Set to reset or calibrate
When I looked, I saw myself
But I expected something else
