Mirror


  I am haunted 
  By a past
  I cannot escape
  
  I am stalked
  By a future
  I cannot resist
  
  Fragments of time
  Falling from the sky
  To be looked upon
  As inconsequential --
  
  Yet, at the time,
  They are all-important
  
  The key to the 
  Puzzle of self-analysis
  
  An objective psychiatrist
  Having a lunatic
  For a patient.
  
  No sense can
  Be made of this
  Riddle
  
  Millions have tried,
  But no one succeeds,
  
  We only dig ourselves
  Deeper into a
  Pit of analytic
  Quicksand
  
  A serpent eating
  Its own tail
  
  Ad infinitum
