Mirror Mirror; Where's my Stripes

It's a jagged pill we swallow, so Alanis says; and i heard somewhere that
consequences are coming up around the bend. What day is it today?
I think it's a curving day, and we take our leavings
and wrap them in the stripes of our souls.

mirror mirror
a hole hung on the wall

critical mass
until the powder
coats her skin

and she's known
for so long
that beauty rises
when the smile arrives

go barefoot and paint
your toenails black
i have lipstick to match

colours are elusive
so keep your head up
or you'll miss the
eyes of the mist
