the twoway mirror line up

i stand
behind the two-way mirror
and look
at the line up
of women on the stage.
women that
have ruined my life.
the cop
tells them to turn left,
now turn right,
now face forward and scream
the words
i hate you.
is she one of them?
he asks me.
hmmm. i'm not sure.
can you ask them to make
a throwing motion
like she's tossing
a bottle or a knife?
sure, he says. sure.
they all do that, but still
i'm confused.
maybe have them text on
their phones
and dim the lights.
