Comment from Joan E.
Thank you for your reflections (pun intended) on life, Western medicine and the need for at least a second opinion! Your third stanza is memorable poetry as well. Cheers- Joan

The devil lies in the ego that center of our (unbalanced, mischief-making) thinking processors where we confuse interpretation with fact; concept with truth; I with thou. So that our lives become a pack of lies. So what do we see in that mirror?

Thank you so much.
Comment from gudbjorg
Perhaps you should have double-spaced this, as there is so much that seems to be written between the lines! An ingeniously written poem with good content and captivating flow that leaves you wondering ... until the last line. I really enjoyed it and it looks like many others do, too. Congratulations!

Well, such an insightful review! How am I to respond? I must say your initial and gut reaction to this...and your comments, are perhaps far more insightful than you are aware of. I write in the "Gestalt" mode of poetry. Which I never knew, of course, until someone more intelligent than me-explained it to me. Thank you.
Comment from closetpoetjester
Hey Vic, NEVER believe the first diagnosis. ALWAYS get a second opinion. Hey, aren't you a doct...ahh forget it. I think that's a conflict of interest haha
On a sirrius note though, we all wonder. Not all of us work it out. I guess if you're the glass half empty tragic, there ain't nuttin. Then again, if that wine glass is half full...by golly what a drunken funken miracle we're all even here. No really. Life is short Vic. Take the bull by the horns and ride her into next week. Enjoy what's out there, make your mark and then have faith there'll be someone who'll appreciate your efforts one day.
Look I dunno. Maybe we just have to find a purpose...to stave off the obvious fact that we ARE actually just a product of evolution. None of us ask to be here, but by golly, each of us has a choice when it comes to how we're gonna face the big bad Mutha Nature.
You think WAY too hard...speaking of hard. Rigidity. Mmmm. Good word LMAO

Sounds like you need to install a "hot" tap, Vic.
Badly.

Comment from Gloria ....
Wonderfully sublime poem, victor. The entire message of we are more than just a specimen is delivered in understated tones, but quite succinctly with the summation do you understand the nature of the mirror. My guess is the good doctor does not. It must not be taught at medical school.
Very nicely done, you.

You are right my dear. Being a doctor myself, I can assure you (ha ha ha, opinion dies hard my dear), that only with life and the reflection upon, does this lesson come home. Thank you. )

look into the mirror and what do you see maybe your future getting away from you that was supposed to be or maybe a big opportunity you let pass you by for reasons you still don't know why
