I had noticed 'someone' looking at this yesterday. I had forgotten about this quote. Second time around ....It only gets better.
The "I" is Someone Else
Some people inhabit their lives
like a reflection does a mirror,
the way a penny rests in a well.
It killed me, you in The Alibi,
a vodka shot in your hand, warning,
"When I come back, I want you
waiting right here."
Me, tendering the illusion of another
self, a projection in the way
a movie can still run with no viewers.
Some people fill their lives
the way a shadow thinly satisfies
a wall, or an arrow finishes a heart.
