What does the mirror see
when the mirror looks
into its mirror self ?
mirroring itself
mirroring
mirroring mirroring ,
mirroring mirroring mirroring ,
mirroring mirroring mirroring mirroring…

Dear Louis,
I always believed that you secretly carried a bit of Lewis Carroll inside you—some remote DNA.
This poem confirms my belief. Kinds discovery!
Indeed!
Alice would love this.
The Bard would love it.
The crazy British artistic temperament that makes deliver the most daily items the most profound truths is here on full display in this idiosyncratic composition!
You inherit that special artistic temperament…dismantling to reassemble a matrix of newer possibilities and meanings and symbols.
Mirror—facing mirror…wow!
Mirror, mirroring…the very mode of looking and constructing subject-hood in an arbitrary manner through ordinary mirror is well-captured in a series of lines and repetitions that as a linguistic unit rhymes to produce an audible effect and a fresh sense.
They call it defamiliarizing process.
A captivating visual!
A great poem!
In lesser hands, it would have turned into sheer jabberwocky on a dinner table in a dysfunctional family or pure juvenilia recorded in a diary now faded with age and dust in a dark attic.
You- through a touch of Carroll- take this crazy idea into the level of art.
Carroll lives on.
Kudos!
Please keep on composing such surrealistic stuff as a brain-food for hapless mass readers trapped breathless in an inane age of puerile entertainment.
Best from India.
I am overwhelmed.I am also very glad that you enjoyed it so much !
Correction:
Please read the third line, last part: Kinds as kinda. Sorry for the typo.
