Looking at your reflection

From PhalkeFactory

how mirrors are made industrially [1]

Write for your self, prepare a mirror with your writing, trap silver on a notebook of glass, with copper and tin and paint and keep water boiling, and passing over the glass, till it gives up, relaxes, and spreads out and you can see yourself. What your mirror cannot see are the ears hot with the mirror making. but you will enjoy looking at your own reflection in that alchemy of your words

a man looked in a mirror in the ground and saw himself. He was enchanted, and ran to call all others. "stand by" he told them and went to take position and slowly lowered his head till he could make of himself that perfect image. "You saw?" he asked. People were polite, they even liked what they saw, generous. some wished they were being seen similarly and made kind noises but walked away, they needed to find somemirrors to look into.

"Hmmmm, Hmmn?" when the man lifted his head, he was alone. Alright, he told himself, you must learn to read your own.
