Like Glass

Apparently transparent.    
Clearly invisible.
 
Seemingly see through.    
Undoubtedly translucent
.    
Hey! I’m standing right here!
 
My father wasn’t a glass maker!
 
I know you see me!      
You know I see you, see me!
 
Apparently transparent
Clearly invisible.    
 
Seemingly see through
Undoubtedly translucent.  
 
I’m standing right here.
 
But...
 
You don’t want to see me
 
My father wasn’t a glass maker  
 
But...
 
In so many words he said shine bright.
 
So like a glass mirror  
 
Reflecting prisms, like stars at night.  
 
Step back! I’m about to reflect some light.

(2014)
