Strolling Around the World

Strolling around the world
I find myself at Mirror Lake
But when I look into the water
I don’t see my reflection
Only a muddy image of what I might look like
Through foggy lenses
A bridge passes over the looking glass
And I pray that it is unsteady
So that I may break it
And find my place amongst lonely bottom-dwellers
Where I can see myself for who I really am
Without the aid of a glass
