The uncanny ability to be someone else!

The reflection

from your eye

showed myself

black and white,

and yet I was in

full colour.

I concurred that

the image was not mine,

whether it be my aura

watching over me,

or my doppelganger

close at hand to haunt.

 But never the less

the tap on my shoulder

did throw me, somewhat strange

when I turned around a woman spoke.

" Oh darling you were brilliant last night.

   You must be exhausted."

" And who might that be,"

asked my other half through

clenched teeth as the woman

walked away.

Her guess was as good as mine.

I replied. "It was my doppelganger's girlfriend."

in V1&2 i started to think about how others see others as something and are convinced they are correct ... when actually they are seeing what they need one to be ... but V3 turned me another direction ... and i started to smile .. and in your closing i says to me self "huh!" ... reflections drained of color and life ... mirror images of women and a speaker that seems to have 3 perspectives ....true Andy style says i .. my doppleganger and his girl are always twitting about with surprises ... and hauntings for me ... kind of sexy and spooky at the same time ... your poem grabbed me mind no doubt sir!
