It’s all about how we see the world.
For years, I looked in the mirror and saw the toothpaste splashes
And the mirror maker brand logo, in the left-hand corner, in bold.
Today, in the same dim mirror I saw an overpowering beam of light,
Reaching from within the heart
Far outside of the dusty bathroom,
The matchbox-size apartment,
The crammed island,
The granite-shaped city.
My whole life I’ve been told
Something that I couldn’t ever behold:
It’s all about how we see the world.
