Reflections

While applying my black mascara, my reflections in the mirrors freeze. Several times I scratch the surface, but it's meaningless. Science says that sense of hearing is one of the last systems perceiving sounds from the outside world before being declared dead. In the background I hear the refrain of Adam Lambert's cover version of "Ordinary World": "Where is the life that I recognize? | Gone away | But I won't cry for yesterday | There's an ordinary world | Somehow I have to find | And as I try to make my way | To the ordinary world | I will learn to survive | Passion or coincidence?"
