This Whole Thing Could Be Upside-Down

Don't even think about the title.
Just wait a while.
Be yourself.
Look in the mirror.
Universes are flooding through your eyes,
Back-and-forth.

It's a pleasure to be read at all.
Would you rather be a wall?
Pasted with peanut butter,
Suffering from a stutter?

A title? What a trifle.
Free verse is the worst.
Slant rhyme is a crime.

Besides, things are never what they seem.
Top or bottom, round and round,
This whole thing could be upside-down.
