Simpatico swans/gliding in symmetry/ tend to stay afloat.

You’ll forgive me, I hope. My brain’s lately been stuck

in meter and pace

and by sheer dumb luck.

At Salem’s Peabody Essex museum

(near spirits galore; some claim they can see ’em)

radiant symmetry sometimes can be found

in mirrored strips tented high above ground.

If one takes a step back–

from a whole, duo, or pack–

then a snap taken off-kilter,

may reveal symmetries, with nary a filter.

Finally, if you’ve stopped here before….

You know my go-to mainstay

is symmetrical reflections at the remains of a day.
