MIRROR - Alea Droker

Flash

Spotlights illuminate a

terrible place

of glass

This infamous motion picture

presents the timeless story

of self-reflection

Such a fickle film

Eye-widening scenes that feel

brand new

with each revisit

Scenes

you must have missed

with endlessly witty lines that

make you laugh

as though it were the first time

So catch the glossy hues of this

production

Remastered to soothe the grain of confused textures

Fall in love

with the actors

So skinny, starved

Running time

trimmed to fit your appetite

Come, come

before you miss the showing

These curtains

deeply desperate for closing

are cut in the night

by the audience's enraptured gaze

Cut...

cut...

Maybe in the next scene
