large mirror on my wall

……it gives depth and makes my room look bigger, go figure. It gives the illusion of fusion from one space to another, even if it’s the same place it adds grace. I move through the room with haste, and momentarily I’m confused thinking I’m in a much larger place. I subconsciously ignore the other me while it flees, it’s just a tease but it goes ignored with ease when I want to add to my delusion of a much grander space. A large mirror on my wall doubles the number of people in any given room, I presume a party has started, everyone arrives at the same time through a different but similar door, on similar floors around similar decors, no need for a tour. The ancients would have thought it was some sort of dark magic, it would have been tragic, to see themselves move to the left or right, they would have jumped out their shaft-sheaths and sandals and took flight, adding a few inches to their height, pushing through crowds with all their might, the whole scene would have been out of sight, but there isn’t a total disconnect cause sometimes I wait for my reflection to move without my influence, I don’t know why, I just do it.

    we have rivers before mirrors
    and Narcissus's myth
    before, selfies..
    we, think
    our generation's, aspirations
    are unique
    but that feeling of removed - connections
    with that sense of self, is a theme
    that's been prevalent
    since the beginning of time..
    so i think
    it's ok, if sometimes
    we look for more
    and hope, for something magical
    to grace our lives..
    (sorry for waffling on
    but I connected with your words
    and couldn't help myself)
    thanks for sharing, dear Poet
