Depth Within Poem by (TPAC) Alexander Coppedge

This factor, conveying of twins seen in slides, recalls their sides in a picture, by each viewing the other, capturing both enduring deeds, residing solely off one as; mirrored an imaged reflection found everywhere.

Friends sitting at a set table, eating a meal, are seen apart in this coexistence, by baring ordeal; no physical touching, between, with it's the other: yet better than nothing, see yourself, seal this crossing reality.

Bedroom secrets, hidden events by both are known; fill up those tiny spaces, zoom them therein, until upper lights are turned on: being in total darkness, it's complete solid gloom, a friend.

Not any concern either, debating face to face, taking away is privacy, in it, confronting bad things, as others said, sad life, seeing its better in sequences; less joy: times.


Bathroom, not seen both sitting, frowning, honking, peering eyes to cry out, trying both of them to clean themselves, rushed effort put, holding it together, asking why, dry stool; released: it's before the flush.


Companions in front of a mirror, facing the other, play at times, only one in this glass mirror, reflection, yields one that twin image, both sharing their actions inside; being from the other: independent.
