Mirror Box

	that one’s it
	that one looks much better than this
	and the heads on the screen
	are nodding yes
	that looks new
	that looks like it’s never been touched back
	but this thing is covered in fingerprints
	to fall off and to be carried
	over, out and round
	there’s time in your heart
	but it’s not now
	to fall off and to be carried
	round and back again
	sat in the palm of a phantom hand
	the stomach’s first
	but the stomach sees inaccurately
	you tell it to rumble quietly
	tell it straight
	in honesty
	you never did know better
	from worse
	from acceptable
	from intolerable
	to fall off and to be carried
	over, out and round
	there’s time in your heart
	but it’s not now
	to fall off and to be carried
	round and back again
	sat in the palm of a phantom hand
	when is best and where is best to talk?
	you talk
