He says, “History does renew,

On its own;

If it doesn’t,

It means we’re dead.”

Blooming tint of red,

Lighter red;

Under the shed,

Never like a man’s bed.

Belongs to Ted,

Morning to wed;

Breakfast he fed,

Tuxedo he led.

Degree in med,

Lipstick in red;

Rings with Jed and Ed,

Dress in tint of red.

She says, “Mirror,

Do you see what I see?

Am I what I see?

Why can’t you be two-way, mirror?”
