Answer 1

not big headed? great poem i think personally. powerful words. very expressive

Answer 2

No, not big-headed, very very clever. Your words tumble over themselves and into each other, creating a vortex of thought that is the desired goal when one writes poetry. I am a very blunt person, and a very blunt writer. I am not one for insane imagery and beautiful lines such as your "mirrored mirage." So, thank you for standing in where people like me can't, and giving me something to admire and lust after. Blessed be.

Answer 3

I love this poem.. I live right now in a condo there is a mirrored office tower across the street . My building's image is reflected back at us  twisted, refracted and stretched. My  own image on the balcony is one of a normal woman standing in an impossible space. It is surreal.   Your poem reflects the visual lies, the incongruities and the  wonderful unreliability  of our vision or others points of view. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty of strange truths no matter how warped the image may seem.  bravo!
