Hall of Mirrors

by Sugarray77

sometimes my world's a mirrored hall
with images both short and tall
nonsensical, illusive traces
reflected in the grotesque faces
reality's a bouncing ball
 
and when my troubles come to call
confusion seems to bring a pall
reminding me of Fairs odd places
a mirrored hall
 
and as I reach to touch the wall,
uneven floors induce a fall
disoriented, stumbled paces
define my life and fill my spaces
advancing... I begin to crawl
a mirrored hall
