Digging in a jar
Can't find yourself
Dig Dig Dig
You buried it somewhere...

Don't you hate it
When you hide something so good
You can't find it when you need it?
When you want it?

Darn.
Smack your palm
On the thick glass.
Think!
C'mon, where's the last place
You saw it?
Try to remember!

Push against the side
Run and slam into it
Frustrated?
Rage.
Anguish.
CRASH!!

Oh no, you broke the jar.
How rude.

Pick up a piece
The mirror stares you in the face
Oh!
There you are!

Found.
