I was stunned to Find

I was stunned to find
that I still have a reflection
a shadow that craves attention
the part that betrays ambition
that stares back
with uncanny recognition

while my side protects a wife
whose back is curled and relaxed

the green tea waiting to be drowned
with hot water and healthy desires

have I tricked change?
am I more now of what I lacked then?

the shadow of my fathers wrinkled suit
hanging on my dooknob beckons me
to start an unending day.
