A' Glazing Faced

Tarnished or burnished, of late from the store.'
reflections of glimmers..a world, outside my door..'

At shards of perception, I squint and I peer."
through the air, my conception still.' much is unclear )

you blandly gaze cold , though  re-sending suns rays
a friend without compunction? a mocker of age..

you dazzle the nations; or just one person at a time..'
a help to boxers, of't the ballet! & street artists 'in mime'

There is so much that a mirror cannot reflect and those are the most important things to see... I enjoyed this unique poem, Joe. Very well written and rhymed! Congrats on a great win!
