I'D Never Done the Mirror Sex Move From American Psycho

Next to my mattress
  is a mirror
decorated with crude stickers
stolen from a dirty bathroom in
        a seedy bar
    in Polish Hill.
Great for staring into when waking up
                                      for the day.
My ex-girlfriend also liked it 
    when we had sex, because
           she enjoyed watching herself bounce
    on me, on my memory foam, 
                                                    admiring her heavy-breathing form...
                                                         But I've never looked into it
    during sex.
No.
     I avoided it like Medusa's head of snakes!
           I've never done the mirror sex move
                     from American Psycho;
                     never emulated Patrick Bateman,
flexing while inches deep in a tight,
   sopping . 
                             No,
   no Huey Lewis and the News either--
                                          no music, actually.
All that could be heard were muffled moans
         and pleasured panting.
