From "Cascade".

lyrics

She Stares Like Oceans

She stares in mirrors like oceans see the sun
and finds herself not wanting
paragon of the young
the harpies scream of vanity
but her interest can’t be blamed
if you listed off her attributes
that we’re pleasing to the eye
then you’d be writing poems like me
a most ironic rivalry

but as it is the poet’s jobs to
chronicle reflection
impose upon it verse and inflection
so when she sees she’s beautiful
recall,
she isn’t wrong.
