livingroomsimiles

the lampshade of society

that dims and shields i, the bulb

though i sometimes can be compared with the legs

that support the weight of the couch

while you be the rug, low-lie but pretty

and you the high bright chandelier,

the spider of lights

i be the window letting light in and show truth

of the outside world

you'll never see

because i have two sides as a window,

one out, one in

ambiverted

and which side you see is determined by

if you are willing to go to the other side

or not

so while i may seem silly

to compare my self to a mere window

i warn you wall-hangings and mirrors

while you be but pretty

i am truth

and if you refuse me

i will silently shut

the blinds
