Glass Perception

Rickey Rivers Jr

We see these people on screens and think them special.
Then look into the mirror and complain about the image.
What’s wrong with us? What’s right with them?

Are we not one in the same?
Though different depending on which eyes are on us?
Aren’t eyes on us all?

Break the mirror, you’ll still be there.
Break the screen, what happens next?
Do you remain?

If so the screen does not control you.
If so the screen does not define you.
We buy.
We need.

We can’t forget the inside glass.
We can’t forget to clean.
