Gemini

I look into a mirror
at my constant companion
and find him a bit more pleasant
than usual

I look in the rearview
and catch a glimpse of an eye
and I smile at him

and it seems the more I see
the less animosity I feel
towards my gemini twin
my constant companion

Maybe the place that I can see behind him
the place where he lives
the place that seems so familiar
and looks exactly like my home
isn't so bad


he smiles at me
probably thinking the same thing
about my backwards world




It's not so bad
says the self image
to the self
they say time heals all wounds
and time is passing for you
yet again

my gemini twin looks at me
from what seems like a few months from now
and I can't help but feel




hopeful.
