doppelgänger.
part of my aussie family
was visiting here in
ann arbor, michigan, usa
from
bunbury, western australia
and
by chance
went to a local county beekeepers meeting
with
some of my family who live here
where he
came face to face with
his doppleganger.
both with
yellow shirts
same
glasses
hair
beard
eyebrows
smiles
face
age
mannerisms.
just
crossing paths
and
finding themselves
in exactly
the same time and place
turned and talked
and then
went their separate ways once again.
