The Dresser Mirror

If I could run headlong into this mirror

Go back to that room

What would I find there but me

Same girl

Same Heart album

or Rush further back

to a 45 of Rainy Days and Mondays

my grandmother's Connie Frances 8 tracks

stretched out on shag carpeting

Lipstick on your collar

Gladys Knight on AM radio

watching the moon from the car window

It shimmied but never moved

Where was it taking me?
