A picture of a place.
A mirror on the wall.
What he would like to see in a mirror.
And then practice by peering into it.
The reflection would tell him.
Exactly where he is.
He would also measure his wealth up by sight.
To see if he was right.
Lasting, of course, not lasting long.
Annulling, destroying.
Destroying, all the times he was right.
And for all time, he would rule supreme.
