“Interview with a Mirror” is written like an interrogation. The Questioner’s voice is rigid and authoritative, while the Answerer is human, fragile, and vulnerable. I wanted to show what it’s like when your own mind assails you with questions you aren’t ready to answer. This poem is basically me arguing with a mirror, and losing the debate.
