Doubles   In my youth, women often took me aside   And told me I reminded them of   A dead brother, an uncle, a late lover.   Some of them wore beards.   One lay with slashed wrists in a tub.   Another of my doubles went for a walk   And never came back from the woods.   It was evening; it was long ago, of course.   One played the piano beautifully   So that strangers knocked on his door.   The last time anyone saw me alive   I was putting on a pair of dark glasses,   Reading a Bible on a subway,   Crossing a busy street in Paris   Waving my arms and laughing to myself.   Charles Simic
