My mirror is broken, or at least it seems to be,

for today I discovered an old man staring back at me.

I waved. I rubbed the mirror with my sleeve.

Who was this imposter, and what is he doing there,

this man of age with silver in his hair?

 

Why is my mirror doing this to me?

Having this old man staring back at me?
