Duplicates

 

The jittering infestation

of copycat critters,

hive mind,

of collective clones crowded

and tethered.

Their thoughts bind,

whilst their faces meld together.

Every glance

Sees their numbers advance.

Another pair of identical

features.

I look at the window

see a reflection of me,

seated, shaking,

seemingly overwhelmed

by these uniform creatures

from some lookalike hell.

 

You are sat opposite.

So how did I just watch you sway

across the bus station foyer?

Another replicant

sat just behind,

in addition to the one

that is sat

two aisles away.

Is my mind going astray?

Playing tricks on me

and laughing maniacally.

As I brush the thoughts away,

I realise I’m afraid that I'll never see

another dawning of day.

 

I feel surrounded,

mind unwound.

Slipping into

a world deep underground.

I'm bound to find myself

staring into my own eyes,

entranced in a confounded

shadow dance,

I don't know

if I'll ever get home tonight.

Strangeness is in flight

under these station lights.

on this dark mysterious night.
