Doppelganger


It never occurred to me

to look on the other side

of the street, into that car,

to inspect everyone on

the elevator, in the subway.


It never occurred to me

that I might find you finding

me and that we might be

wearing the same clothing,

have the same part in our hair.


It never occurred to me

that you hadn't occurred

to me and I may never

occur to you, but you


occurred to me today,

when I swore I saw Mitchell

driving someone else's car.

He was smiling at nothing,

then red light turned green.
