Number onestands by the mirror.The reflectionis herself still,                  but changed.Is she sad?The colour pleases her whim,she smiles at the inferno.But dressesno longer          match.She is Bohemian                but with little choice:she was an eccentric embryoI'm sure.There's no angerabout duplicate questions,only humour.Feigned or real?She smiled a liar smile.I know now.She likes destruction.Does the meaning come through strongly? What do you get from it?Is the form too disjointed? Written August 27th, 2001 © on Aug 27 2001 08:46 AM PST, Louise Bell   0 • 9
