I was born in the wrong dimension
A mirror to the gross convention Reflection trapped amidst projections Or projection lost amongst reflections Back to front and spun around Flipped and switched and upside down Where left is right and right is wrong Words are blurred and dragged along Others bear the mirror’s mark Palms are smeared and turned to dark Stained by lead and chalk and ink A hidden sign, a secret link Though it does not hide from sight The most ignore the minors’ plight The world designed for most in mind What’s left lose out and left resigned Scissors blunt by blades apart Driving only right will start Mugs with marking try to hide As ladles pour the other side Headphone settings switched around Measured tools shown to the ground Words and numbers upside-down When held in hands the mark has found Watches dials will fail to twist While worn upon the other wrist Jacket pockets, buttoned shirts Angled spoons for posh desserts School chair desks and moulded grips Thermos clasped for taking sips Camera settings, pages turned Taught procedures right way learned Computer mouses, interfaces Inputs favour righter spaces When chiral objects all abound, A single isomer is found All that’s left is not to be This mirror world’s not built for me
