Reflection Poem by Roy Ballard

Reflection

Rating: 4.0


How can it be
they cannot see
what's clear to me?

My colleague,
even he
gulps helplessly.

It's not as though
their brains are slow;
they just don't know.

They never thought it through
nor wanted to
see something new;

with unconcern
did not discern
how clock hands turn

(not all the time, OK?)
how in the mirror somehow they
go round the other way.
