Here is a mirror
I look at daily.
First thing in the morning,
last thing at night;
I asked it all
my easy questions
long ago,
when I did not mind
the truth;
now, though,
I whisper my worst questions
first thing in the morning
and last thing at night,
exhorting it to offer
“wrong answers only”
before turning my back on it,
as I know it cannot lie.
