Mirror, mirror on the...

Just a poem, for Alois Alzheimer. I wrote it in German, not in French, like usual.

Mirror, mirror on the...

I look in the mirror

What do I see?

Colors of wisdom

Or misery?

Mirror, my mirror

On my dark wall

Who is inside

Staring at me?

Someone I've met?

Cause I forget

Sometimes to wear

My memory

What a nice surprise

In a slick disguise?

Long time no talk

Long time, no see

Where are you from?

When did you come?

We are both citizens

Of same country

How are the kids?

Do you have any?

I have had many

In history

What is your name?

Mine is the same

The same first name

And family?

Join me for lunch

I have a hunch

That we'll be friends

Indefinitely

Mirror, my mirror

On my dark wall

Once, and for all

Please set him free

Cause in the end

I need a friend

Even if it were

Myself, and me
