"what a drag it is, these gold lamé jeans
 is this the coolest way to get through your teens?"
                         "Teenage Lament '74", Alice Cooper

life both mirrored and altered
   by the shadows
details revealed and obscured
   where light meets darkness
ever-entangled and ever-distinct
   in this dream-tinged reality

so far away
    I see you every minute
    but my eyes still cannot
  heart's sorrow
    retunes each song to minor keys
    for in all do I find you
