Empty Mirror

There is no me;

just a copy of a copy,

and then the curtain lifts

but there is still nothing.

Without my spine,

made out of broken parts,

a collage glued together

which, with first wind, breaks apart.

There is no me;

just a second-hand montage

conjured by a lifetime of shameless espionage.

Me is somebody else,

100 people melted into one,

1000 characters taken apart and forever undone.

There is no me,

there was never a me,

there will never be,

there was never meant to be

a real me.

Just a copy of a copy

of a copy.

Back to the animal;

which is I.
