Like Me

Like me. Taller than the tallest grass. Happy that way. Sometimes unhappy, unpleasant. A giant, evil fish in a stagnant pond. Is usually a hallucination. That ripple means nothing. Like me. Like me. A person that is identical but she swims better. Across the pool, I’ll never make it past the 5 foot mark. Drowning. Means nothing anymore. Like me. A weird smile. Like me. A growl that is more like a hiss. Like me. A hand that is cramping up for no reason. Like me. A person who used to know how to swim but forgot. Like me. Everything I see is… Like me. Except the kind person who takes care of a graveyard. I could never do something like that. But still, she places a flower there. Does anyone out there… Like me?
