WINDOW MIRROR
On the water by the bay
Fun and summer´s first day
Come to listen watch and play
In a selfie essay
Some are here to watch & model
Some listen to act & write
Observe and tune in
To the sight at night
Seven faces in the window mirror
Talking in public company
Pictures with words energy
Funny fast suddenly
The way she talks with her hands
It´s a new language to understand
It´s a hoot with a cowl
A peacock and an owl
Z inspiration
Alpha premonition
Heart with intuition
Mirror talking exhibition
REFLECTIONS
What can I do from afar
To encourage you with your jug
Light up the star
A radiant smile on your mug
What you hear
Can help what you do
And in the mirror
Dancing with you
To see your changes
You´re fit and slim
That make you feel
Your love within
From your position
With intuition
Transmits
calmWith inspiration
Capture yourself in a photo
And get to know each other
Thinking
faces in the mirror talkingReflections of love one another
MIRROR TALKING
Volume 1
Poetry by Uncle John
In a series of four emails, Bill Murray himself tells this story.
Uncle John´s edited version is here with his poetic comments
to Bill as he shares each part of his story.
"Hey John, thanks for emailing."
Bill also sent video with
him looking in the mirror, seeing the dog,
& watching the dog´s head turn as Bill kept turning.
This an innovative creative interactive writing experiment.
Mirror Talking
The Growl From The Great Beyond
Story by Bill Murray
Poetry by Uncle John
Bill Murray:
"Have you ever looked in the mirror & NOT seen yourself?
Woke up earlier slept well then sat quietly
did some stretching, used the rumble roller and thought,
"OK another great day to scrub my teeth." And, hello!
Right in the mirror not the face I know so well, but a mutt.
I really don't care that he's not a pedigree, but...he is a dog.
What did the man say, a dog has taken my place, my face place.
This dog right here."

Mirror talking why the scowl
Waiting for you to howl
With help from friends for sure
Hope you find what you’re looking for
"Just walk a mile in my paws.
There's a dog in my mirror!
A real dog where my face should be and always has been.
Weird thing, he looks kind of familiar, which is no comfort at all."
It´s like Groundhog Day only with a dog
You´ll find your way with no heartache
Dogs are super instinctive like the hog
Remember the darkness always yields to the daybreak
"The darkest hour is just before the dawn.
I remember my neighbor, Dr. Gerry, a veterinarian,
Totally qualified to respond to any canine emergency.
Dr. Gerry, wearing a ´Don't Lick Me I'm Allergic´ button
Pinned to his scrubs, hands me a business card."
You say your neighbor is legendary
What you need is a new way to see
Something more than veterinary
“Whatever I am” the mirror speaks to me
"Platinum Pet Premonitions. A pet psychic.
$99.99 seems reasonable for my desperate situation.
I pull up to the house & she's already waiting,
which scares me because I didn't call ahead.
She immediately asks “Is your dog living or dead?"
I answer with every dog´s name & f
ifty-five minutes latershe informs me that it´s $99.99 per minute.
What would you have said??"
Caution
No judgment here
She sees into the darkness
But sheds no light on your problem
The mirror speaks Caution
"So I turn to family, brother Brian arrives.
With him as my mirror, he looks back at me
& sees what was missing.
What I had been missing and couldn't see.
Yes, as a little kid, we had a dog named Peppy, a Border Collie,
who had one blue eye one brown eye and loved to chase cars.
Peppy was certainly peppy. She had a lot of energy!
She could play all day, with all nine of us &
still have time to work her herding skills on Fords and Chevys.
Peppy was gone. Now Brian tells me Peppy ended up happy
on a friend of my dad‘s farm somewhere in Wisconsin.
We were told she ran away or had to be put down, or something.
Whatever story was told is long-lost to memory.
They could have told us the truth.
I never got to say goodbye to Peppy. Until today.
It was Peppy I was seeing in the mirror.
After all these years, she came back to say goodbye to me...
and to let me say goodbye to her.
Maybe she liked me the best of all the kids.
W
e should never be horrified by what we see in the mirror.M
aybe never wish to be content what we see in the mirror"
Family comes through
What you are missing
Is what you can´t see
Searching for the source
Listen for the sound
One of your friends & fan Bill follow
The growl from the great beyond
Bill Murray´s movies include Lost In Translation, Groundhog Day,
Ghostbusters, Quick Change, What About Bob? Moonrise Kingdom,
The Jungle Book, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums

The Guide & Ms. Stash
Your eyes can see
Without smiling at me
The night
You bring with you
And the guide with you
Knows what to do
To understand
Patience & kindness shine through
I know her as Ms. Stash
Her hard work & she´s full of class
Inspiring wisdom in what I can do
Listening to the band watching you
I see catepillar & butterflies in the mirror
One next to where I stand
Moving its wings is shown on my hand
Band on its hair beholder
Bar above the shoulder
The band is playing
For those who train there
The gifted
Through inspiration they share
The guide works out a plan
Fitness is a new dance to find
To discover your strength
In exercise to clear the mind
Lovely Ms. Stash shows her abs
She´s a work of art
On the monkey bars
From her heart
She can pour water with each hand
Who can make her sweat
The Guide & Ms. Stash exercise
To smile in the light dawn has set
