Doppelganger

I am wedded to
An endless war of
Me against
A Me Who
Is not
A man from the past
Who has my face
Who shares my self
Who defiles it

He gets drunk to send me
hang-overs
He splits up and tells me
It's over
He procrastinates
Leaving me as the ruler
Of our ruined future
He dies in every moment
His inheritance is sorrow
I accept

He is a nightmare to share a home with
Let alone a body

If I could make the time
To make a time machine
I'd give you what-for
But what for?
I'll forgive you
And give myself
time
Wasted recovering
I'll
Put my feet up with a beer
I'll

Know I'm already hated
By one I tell:
I defy you
I know the price
Of now
