A mirror
suddenly
Starts walking
and
goes to
stand
in front
of another
mirror.
It sees
itself in
the
other
mirror but
also sees
the other
mirror
in itself.
Angered, it
breaks
the
mirror
It can no
more see
itself
in the
mirror, but
sees the
other mirror
in itself
broken.
This is
often
what happens
in love.
Someone
sees himself
or
herself
in you
and
then breaks
you.
You
just should
not be made of glass.
