Get Behind Me Satan

Did I tell you about the time
when I was making cereal
(that is, combining cereal and milk in a bowl 
in the appropriate order 
for coolness and freshness.)
When I noticed how loud the TV was 
in the office. 
I noticed I could hear TV people talking.
Then Alice was behind me.
Or at least it looked like Alice. She was a brunet. 
She was behind me.
She said, "LILLY!"
I screamed and threw my Honey Nut Cheerios into the air.
Cheerios went everywhere. 
I had to get out the dustpan when I'd recovered. 
Sweep up the cheerios.

Do you ever think,
when you're washing your face
and your head is down in the sink,
that when your head is upright again
there's going to be someone
            Something 
in the mirror behind you?
