You Got To Be Kidding

each day I face the world
I put on my warrior face
my funny face 
my serious face

none seem to work 
the world puts on its 
you got to be kidding face
and faces me down

recently 
I put up a large mirror 
between me and the world 
facing it

It sees 
The mirror 
and the you got to be kidding face
and we move on
