COMPETITION PROMPT

Write a poem or story about a mirror struggling with the fact that she has no identity of her own. (What could this be symbolic of?)

Two of a Kind

Who are you?

I am you

That’s not true!

Yes, we’re two

That can’t be

You heard me

That’s enough!

Oooo, so tough


You are not I

Why would I lie?

I’m all my own

Am I your clone?

Wait, whatdya say?

Your hearing okay?

Just who are you?

Check out this view


You’re my reflection?

Have an objection?

You’re just a mirror

You’re not in error

You agree with me?

I do, partially

Say what you will then

You’re a mirror, Gwen!0


An individual

Perhaps you act the fool?

Perhaps you cannot see?

See this infiniti?

Frames recede in color?

We reflect each other

That is impossible

No, simply logical


Okay, I am a mirror

Now we are getting clearer

I still have what makes me, me

Individuality?

It’s not just an endless loop

We’re clearly in the same group

What do you see?—Look closely

I see…your identity!
