Rear-View Mirror
Rear-View Mirror

Objects in mirror are closer than appear
that reflected world is smaller than here
in miniature depicted in sharpest clarity
do not be fooled by this similarity.

Strangest of all in this tiny universe
it seems that all things have gone in reverse
landscapes depart in unseemly haste
released from our vision as soon as embraced.



Line count: 8
