Cracking the Mirror Each Time

keeps butting her head against the same mirror
it cracks and breaks finally
so she finds another one as close to it as possible

Same scenario, 
Same scripts
Same arguments.

This mirror leaves too
Why do all the mirrors leave me? She asks.
The cat has no answers. Just glad to get all the attention now.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 5/14/2020 1:50:00 PM Hello Caren Krutsinger, It could be that she does not like what she sees in the mirror. So she cracks it. Enjoy your day my friend. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/15/2020 5:42:00 AM It truly might be. I believe you are right.

Bette Bavington Date: 5/11/2020 10:56:00 AM Good one. It reminds me of doing the same things over and over with no better results is insanity. I have to change my way of thinking. I hope all is well with you and yours. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/12/2020 4:46:00 PM Thank you Bette

Anil Deo Date: 5/3/2020 12:02:00 PM "glad to get all the attention now," is a lovely twist & surprise. I adore that it may be read at so many levels/lives! shalom Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/4/2020 6:09:00 AM I have to admit I come closer to a cat and dog's perspective sometimes than I do my own perspective. *whee*
