Two – Dimensional Me

the lamp cast me
on the wall
in two dimensions
a perfect silhouette

as I turned to
look at me
I turned and gazed
back at myself

I wondered what
my other self sees
imitating my every move
perfectly

though sometimes
in distorted perspectives
dependant on light source
and surface juxtapositions

my 3-d self a divinity
to 2-d me?
moral and just or
dark and evil?

the truth of me
a lifetime of complexity
as 2-d me dogs my wake into
eternity
