Peeping Tom)
by Dan Senn
As a kid
I was rapt
by
one-way mirrors.
Not because
I was a voyeur.
Though indeed I was.
But because
of an idea.
I knew
that
light bounced of mirrors.
So
it seem possible
to trap light
within a sphere
surfaced with thisss
one-way mirror stuff.
A cheap source of light!
The sphere
would collect light
until it blew up
or
some of it was let out.
A friend of mine
has a brain
like that.
And to keep it
his brain
from exploding
he
expresses himself.
He writes music.
And
he does this
by
transcribing
the soundz he hearz
inside his head.
He copes this way.
And
when I hear his music
I feel
like a voyeur again.
