A Mirror in a Mirror

A mirror suddenly starts walking
and goes to stand in front of another mirror.
It sees itself in the other mirror,
but also sees the other mirror in itself.
Angered for no reason, it breaks the other.
It can no more see itself in the other mirror
but sees the other mirror in itself, broken.
This is often what happens in love.
You just should not be made of glass.
