Mistaken Identity


Ever been walking down the sidewalk and
from behind someone calls out your name?
And you, figuring it was not you they were

calling to, but some other guy who happened
to be coincidentally about the same size and
shape, same hair color and style, who like you,

walked with a slightly lopsided gait and went
by the same name as you. How could you be
for sure anyway, right? So, you kept on walking

and never even turned around. Has that ever
happened to you?..Yes, I’m talking to and about
you, the one and only. It’s me..Remember, I had

a full, redish-brown beard last time we met?
A lot of gray has overtaken me since that day.
