Mirror

by Amber Paulen

Standing naked before the mirror is a trip. It doesn't really help that the mirror is in the shower or that the shower is the whole bathroom. The reflection stands; completely there. Am I a body, function, person, or a woman, breasts and hips? Squinting, shifting, jutting hips out at an angle all naked women must indulge in. The water pours down hot, the mirror fogs up in its nightly routine.
