Array ( [sid] => 57145 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => i [time] => 2004-07-22 08:26:17 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I look in the mirror
a two-dimensional image,
tired, worn, unshaven,
a touch of gray, aged,
skin and bone,
memories, scars,
feelings, tattoos

face to face,
blood shot and aqua-blue
infinite reflections
within the eye
on the I,
study the pupil,
the darkness,
my being,
no past, no future,
only now

essence decoded,
the physical
and spiritual,
chronicled
and catalogued,

my life reduced:
a biological function
a chemical reaction
a mathematical equation

I cease to exist,
I become
the square root
of negative one.

Skillfully and creatively deduced.

"study the pupil"

Well worth reading.

This was an excellent read, and I'm not prone to using
superlatives lightly. I thoroughly enjoyed plumbing the
depths of this reflective piece.

Not a mis-step anywhere. You understand the value of
clarity and conciseness.

Heh...I'll stop now, before you get the impression that
I don't.*s*

Another captivating and mind-boggling piece. Kinda like watching a man's engrossing journey deeper and deeper into himself... until you reach a brick wall of perception.

It's very sneaky how your poems seem geared toward making sure the reader reads right to the end to get the message....
