Adventures in Wonderland

Looking Glass House: Mirror Writing

Mirror Match

First glance I'm through the mirror.
It feels like I am cursed.
It looks eerily similar
but everything's reversed.

In Chess terms I've switched colors
I'm open to attack.
Where once I played the game as white
I'm now playing as black.

It all just feels so different
The board is turned around.
While everything's familiar
I'm standing on new ground.

Where once I was lefthanded,
I now favor my right
The nighttime is the daytime.
For daytime it is night.

The sights are recognizable
and yet they're different too
I feel like I know where I am
but this is something new.
