Poetic Asides Double


Seeing Double

One dark and rainy day,
my next-up sister and I
were driving out and about.

We stopped at a fast-food place
and the employee who took our order
stared at us in confusion.

Instead of asking, “May I help you?”
She blurted out, “Are you twins?”
People often said I resembled my sister..

We looked at each other and realized
we wore the same color and type of jackets,
with our hair pulled back in ponytails.

Because it was raining, her red hair
and my brown hair appeared similar.
The girl must have though she was seeing double.
