"MIRROR CITY"
The Writer's Reality
(Keeping Sanity In An Insane World)
With Gratefulness to Janet Frame!
(Written in 1999)




Writing is a refuge

One reflects themselves in

To preserve their sanity

More than it is to bless

Readers with insight into

The complex "mirror city"

Of their innermost soul's

Understanding and confusion

Revelations and symbolisms

Sanity and insanity



Writing is an outlet

For the immersion inside one's self

To release the misunderstandings

Coming to a realization in the process

Of what is really going on inside

The manifold "mirror city"

As well as all around it

In order to accept their insanity

While trying to awaken the world

From its own surreal abnormality
