Surface Reflects Being

Sheila Cremin

I am a mirror, a window,
Perhaps even a well-polished spoon.
My surface, simply the image of what surrounds,
Maybe slightly bent, discolored, or transparent.
I follow the laws of physics,
Photons of light reflect off of you,
Bounce off of me,
And back to the pupils of your eyes.
And this you see is your
Reflection.
But what you see is not you.
It is the light absorbed by your eyes,
Sent off to the brain,
Neurons firing off complexes between synapses.
You follow illusions of the mind.
Certainly distorted, misshapen, and clouded.
Your being, simply the product of what surrounds,
Perhaps once a well-raised child,
Looking through a mirror, a window.
