This Man In The Mirror

Since that moment, This Man

is appearing in my dreams.

He asks me if I do recognise Him.

"I'm Doctor Dee," he says.

"I invaded your Mind & Soul

with my Black Magical Mirror,

I came through

the Looking Glass and now I am

the Guy in control

of your Body

and your Brain.

I did the same with all those other

Guys & Dolls, I came in

while they were peering

into the black depths of

my Mirror of Magick -

and now they're dreaming

of me an how I take them to the graveyard

to put flowers on their tombstone

that is missing - but still,

they're dead,

you know.

They watch the Spirits

in the Shew Stone while I penetrate

their thoughts and they fall in love with me and I

give them nocturnal emissions.

I make them buy flowers

and they think it's me

who bought them jewellery

and I take them out

to the beach to watch sunset

and there I make them go

walking into the water

forever.

I teach them how to fly

in the sky over the city

and observe their friends

from up there.

I chase them for what seems

like hours in a huge and deserted

shopping mall until they're trapped

in the kids' area where I

smile and show them the way

to the cash desk.

I am Santa Claus and my head

is a balloon, but no matter

how hard they try

to catch me, they just can't

reach me.

They are stuck in a room

sitting on a stool

with a television set, visited

by two men, violently

raped.

When they fall asleep

and wake up in the same room,

I show up on the screen

and they start begging me

not to hurt them anymore

and I don't say anything

and I keep this blank expression

on my face while I

slit their throat.

They think I'm Brazilian,

a schoolteacher

type of guy with six

fingers on his right hand,

but you know who

I am - don't

you?

They call me Chris Marlowe II,

the One & Only Troll

of Triond, but let me

tell you this,

my friend:

If the US has

a nuclear disaster,

then go North, or

it's for all of us

all over and

all over and over

again."
