Gaze at the mirror imagery
in look/ing glass, find clarity
to see if there’s authentic me
a true impression, naturally
If I could juxtapositionally
adopt a new, alternate me
gain entry to new territory
what might be my discovery?
If such a revised visage, i.e.
[my alter ego] came to be
from shadows of the former me
who in that mirror might I see?
Hail to my new identity!
A ghost of the alternate me!
If I could call it differently
who else could I possibly be?
Swapping, changing me for me
change constantly [duality]
My first me, supplementally
severally, parity, equity
But what if I disliked that me
and scorned that new reality?
Could I revert to normality?
On reflection, no. It’s still just me
