Self-Portrait
We live parallel lives.
He is a poet,
I am a computer engineer.
He thinks of philosophy, nature and love,
I think of hardware, software and debugging.
I go to the gym, he takes long walks.
He treasures a fountain pen,
I a laptop computer.
His friends are arty alternatives,
Mine are geeky misfits.
I am concerned about tax rates, mortgage rates, holidays and return on investment,
He about social justice, global warming and the numinous.
He lives for a better world,
I live in a virtual world.
He weeps,
I anesthesiate.
He is the dreamer.
I am the dream.
