And everything is mirrors
tonight.
The sky a perfect medium of blue
darkened with navy and orange capillaries,
and the whitewashed walls
I know to be scummed by the highway
mirror the sunset.
Inflate my lungs with the edible late January air
my torso twitching with the feeling of being
whole,
like a good dream
that lasts well throughout the morning.

And there is a lump of something bittersweet;
something delicious I've missed out on
lurks back there with the other chances.
But this, too, is right, and
completes it all.

A train passes
another mirror,
and I inhale again
this unlimited resource of warmest winter.

&quot;Look out, they&#039;re coming after us with big guns,<br /> They&#039;re only gonna tell you all the bad things I&#039;ve done<br /> Even if they words they say aren&#039;t true they&#039;ve won,<br /> Now I&#039;m left here dying in the sun...&quot;

I think its saying that the character has skipped an oppurtunity to be with someone else doing something else and instead is alone... But I could be entirely wrong.(: Great poem! I love it!!

The descriptiveness is great! I can literally feel the poem. However, I'm not understanding the relevance of the title. Perhaps the poem's purpose isn't clear...?
