The Daily Mirror
Do not
start
the day
unsure.
Each passing moment
mirrors you.
Dismiss all false reflections.
Windows,
cases,
fitting‐rooms
reveal their
mercantile impressions.
Strangers
strolling
others
pausing
in cafés,
or
other public places
with judging eyes
and attitude
add to
the picture gallery
of yours.
Do not end the day
unsure.
Each passing moment
mirrors you.
Dismiss all false reflections.
