The Differences
the differences between a camara and a mirror
are so distinctive it can not be clearer
for one is waiting and stays in it's place
and the other is willing to record time and space
the one is like living as if it's a dream
though another in another diminsion share a life we
weather we see ourselves or not we live around the corner
the reflection of life and light seperated by glass boarder
the camera is a wittness for all beautifull things
it's telling eye records whats most intresting
in its eye light is truth when the camera is in focus
they sometimes use the frame by frame
to see what we did'nt notice
both camera and mirror
are tellers of the truth
but when used by magicians
they are of totally different use
camera's record the past
and mirrors show the present
the two together a time machine
that might surprise the bearer
some imagin the mirror a window
into another place
but really all it is, is a device
to see ones face
and some think that with the camera
they can capture your soul
but what the camera really does
is shows us how we've grown old
and if we could go through the window
of the picture and regain our youth
what would become of wisdom
and what would become of truth
but away with foolish notions
and forget those fantasies
use the camera for memories
and the mirror for seeing me
