Answer Me

Flies past my window
As if I am a strangler
Is that the new way home?

Peers through the window panes
Of my innermost contemplation
Could that be my ignoble double?

There are good flies and bad flies out there just make sure you are the not the ignoble double of the guy on the other side. Good idea I have seen this idea used in watery reflections too.

For some reason this piece made me feel like I broke up with someone and had to deal with seeing that person pass by every single day. He/She who once were familiar is now a stranger. :)
