almost you

someone steals
your wife. he drives
your kids to school.
takes your watch too.
he shows up at your
job
and takes your desk.
he's wearing
your coat and tie,
your shoes.
he walks your dog.
he has become almost
you.
he's doing a fine
job though, better
than you ever could.
this makes you happy
being relieved
of the life you
led,
free at last to become
the person
who you were supposed
to be.
