Mirrorground Fair Narcissus

(To Steve Sassmann)
In the funhouse mirror, stuck
in those infinite births,
I see the distortions of me.
Fairground grass eats my ankles,
so do
the ice follies and other narcissus.
I touch the glass; it gurgles, streams
a river of whisky;
under his distilled breath the ticket man
says that I can cross it
but for that charges will be extra.
This year too, I may not dare.
in those infinite births,
I see the distortions of me.
Fairground grass eats my ankles,
so do
the ice follies and other narcissus.

a river of whisky;

This year too, I may not dare.
