lyrics

When I say “any size mirror is a dictator,” how many of you picture a dictator looking in a mirror?
If you can imagine that now, a dictator looking in a mirror, focus on that image, but not too hard.
don’t focus too hard on the face, just the general shape or character of it
focus on the image as a whole, the size of the mirror
Notice the color of the dictator’s clothing…and hat?
If the dictator begins to become vaguely historical, or even to resemble a specific historic dictator
that’s ok, allow your mind to make these decisions but don’t focus too hard on the face
let the rest of the picture come into focus
The dictator is looking in a mirror and doesn’t see you….
now allow the face to slowly come into focus

the dictator is looking in the mirror
You’re behind the dictator, it doesn’t see you
