My youngest son, Cameron, read a Carl Sandburg poem about a man who sees another man, and this other man does everything that he does-- smiles, frowns, laughs, walks, etc. My wife asked Cameron if he knew how the man could see another man doing the same thing he's doing.
Cameron said, "He's looking in a mirror." When asked how he knew that, Cameron answered, "I dunno."
A mirror-- brilliant! That's exactly the right answer! But that's not the answer I was thinking.
I thought the guy was schizo and needed to see a doctor right away!! I really felt bad for him.
I will consult Cameron on poetry from now on.
