Twins
By: Aidan, 5th grade
The two of me,
The two of you,
Us
The same block
Two different chips
Or?
Not
Me down
You-
Up?
A door
Two mirrors
Can’t tell the difference
Me up
You-
Down?
A staircase
The bottom of a well
How far down
Does it go?
Identical
Is that
True?
Me right
You-
Left?
How far
Do we strech?
East to west?
West to east?
Coast to coast?
Are we thin?
Our faces pressed
Into the cold glass
Me on one, you on two
Staring, but not seeing
Far ahead
Me left
You-
Right?
A filter
Cuts through
My sight
I see clearly
For the first time
You are me
And I am you.
The light fades
From my head
Mist seeps in
You in me
And
I in you.
