Who Fills This Mirror?

Here goes another misstep.
But rest easy, 
mind sweeper,
Lacan will come later, for
for now I don’t know what
mirror he reflects,
mother in the child
or child in the mother?
To begin to move
us through this eyewitness gallery,
maybe Freud will do
an encore like the dead do
to get Jacques up and
going.
