Twin

Twins 40 years ago I let go of the twin that lived inside of me My twin was a nice person and feared upsetting anyone hence he had no opinion relying on me being called unpleasant names. He was also a heavy drinker and had no respect for women's feelings thinking it was funny when they threw things at me, Yes, it was me who had to take the blame for his foolish behavior. I fled in a night of rain, at a time when he would sit in a bar entertaining people (with my money) yes, he was well-liked and droll, with a deep well of funny jokes how could I ever compete. I chose to settle in Portugal, via England, to confuse my twin who was a Costa Do Sol type of guy, the Portuguese are not as jubilant as the Spaniards which reflects in their Fado. The problem is, they found a man they recon has been in the town's lake since the eighties, people said he had a cafe, this is worrying, I had a lunch cafe in that town Am I me, or am I my twin?
