if I met my doppelganger

If I met my doppelganger
I would invite her to lunch
because I would like to know
how far our outside appearances go

Are we like-minded?
Will we agree on everything?
Does being identical on the outside
mean we support the same causes?

Would the president she loves
be my anti-Christ?
Would the bullying she respects
remind me of Hitler?

Would we like the same singers
Would we order the same things for lunch?
Fried shrimp with a loaded baked potato?
I imagine we will have a fine time.
Whether we agree on anything, everything or nothing.
As long as we steer clear of politics.
