Casually checking his hair

Did you ever wonder what’s inside that keeps us together?
Did you ever want to take a knife and discover?
(Tindersticks)

Casually checking his hair
on the elevator mirror
the bearer of the deep secret of his me
presses the correct button without even looking
and
starts to
      desc-
end.

Then looks bravely into his soul
While nailing some        leftover        from between his teeth
Totally failing the grasp the deep truth of his me
And, mildly astonished by this fact,(probably the mirror
wasn’t working properly
