One wants to assume
take identities
hung in another closet
a bizarre transformation
all for wealth
nothing for poverty
encirclement

Face looks exact
encircled, intact
on reflected glass
remain identical
but the horror
the crime
the mirror knows
one still assumes
identity of the other
all for riches
not to be poor


Truth catches up
all for wealth
not the poor
encircled lot
all for a flame
blown out in the wind
identities swapped
times are warped
one wants to live
yet kills in the process
