Myself

I walked up the stairs
and before I stepped a second
I saw a man
it looks like me
It was myself
As I saw I pondered
After that I blinked once
I blinked again
After a while I saw him doing a card trick
I blanked once more
And yet again
This time when I opened my eyes
He vanished
I turned around
And out the door I saw him
And then when I looked out on the street
I didn’t see him anymore
I walked back in
And up the stairs
There he was again
Myself, right there in the mirror
Where I could see him clear
