The other me



Meanwhile, the other ‘me’ is well and thriving.
He did not make the mistakes, I did
Not a single one of them.
He did all the right things at the right time in the right way
Thought all the right thoughts even
All his work and worships relations and realizations
Had always been perfect to the T
I don’t meet him often
As he isn’t for real  
But when I do
He makes me think long and hard!
