More about the hula hoop I suppose

I've just hula'd for the entirety of Creep by Radiohead
I believe if I can hula through more songs from the 1990s I will turn back time
Not in a Cher way
Maybe in a faraway silhouette way
And I'll be happy with that
Because it's really only myself I want to see in the mirror
Although mirror reflections tend to be ok
As I tilt my face just right, with light being kind
It's window, door or bus stop reflections
The surprise ones that stop you mid laugh
My favourite reflections are secondary images
Those of me through other eyes
They take me by surprise too
It's like a shared magic
"I would now like to award you with the prize for being precisely just right"
"What me?! But what about this list of flaws?"
They then tell me politely to shut it 
It can happen at any moment
Just something breaks through the norm
And there's a realisation that we are a someone that matters...
And it's great, I mean see how I just described it above
But I will keep hula'ing 
Because I exist more when I exist more
And half of that is in the mind
And none of it is when I eat a loaf of bread
