becoming more (original #1)

sometimes i run across the hall
with two different shoes on,
stand in front of the long mirror,
one foot up,
one foot down,
switch...
which one?
it's true, i can't see me --

sometimes i run away from me, then,
because i have two different selves on,
stand in front of my long choices,
one hope up,
one dream down,
switch.

which looks right?
who's walking away?
who
is more
becoming?

i love this piece, lauren. it's so thoughtful, and the content is so much heavier than the language would suggest. "it's true, i can't see me" - heavy.
