Click hereI am
a candid mirror
seamless, askew,
slightly altered,
familiar view.
I make you think
you sense nexus,
perfect match,
pegs and holes,
a gemini union.
But no,
there is
no uplink,
not a twin
connection
only me;
your customised
reflection.
This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 35,000 poems.

Mirrors, like people, are not always what they appear. Witness the car mirror on the far side from the driver, with its distorted view. A truthful mirror some will decry for presenting what we'd rather not see.

I disagree. My difficulty was not with the abandonment of a rhyme scheme but with the change in formatting to shorter lines. It could be argued that this is to force a disconnect upon the reader, but, paradoxically, for short lines to work there must be flow between them.
