Mirrored Humor

He is one who oftentimes finds himself 
on the right side of every 
wrong issue

and is always late as he takes  short cuts
so he could get there way 
ahead of you.

Almost habitually he runs right smack
into the creditor he dreads
to meet

or ends up sweating in a thick raincoat
in an unexpected high 
noon heat.

He says he is just marching to the beat
of his own drum that only 
he can hear;

he stares at you at him in the mirror,
two cheerful bunglers, 
so close, so near.
