The mirror tells me time has run amok. This wrinkled and gray-haired person can’t be me.
My spirit revolts, but has no words. It plays its game nevertheless.
Birth certificates are dated in the future.

Well done reality, Reena.
Sometimes the mirror is shocking.
The first verse of Dream On (Aerosmith):
“Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn’t that the way?”

I am surprised when I look in the mirror and see an old(er) woman looking back at me.
