Sonya Florentino - Doors and Mirrors

2014-11-10 3

We close doors
to lock ourselves in
or lock ourselves out
To keep things in
and keep things out

Knock-knock:

Who’s there?
- 'You! '
Me?
- 'Yes, you! '
Who ARE you?
- 'Me? You! I am you! '
That can’t be, I am me.

Once again, who ARE you?
- 'Well, if you just let me in.....I'd show you! '

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s that knocking on my door?
What? You DON'T hear it at all?
