The Mirror
Intimates
Don't you care for my love? she said bitterly.
I handed her the mirror, and said:
Please address these questions to the proper person!
Please make all request to head-quarters!
In all matters of emotional importance
please approach the supreme authority direct!--
So I handed her the mirror.
And she would have borken it over my head,
but she caught sight of her own refection
and that held her spellbound for two secondswhile I fled.
