when one became
multiple,
duplicates
not one man
multiple personalities
but many men
all imitating
each other
as if one
emotional investment
splintered
broken trust
how am I
in love with one
when one is not one
yet more acting
as if one?
how can I miss you
until I know
which one is you
or another?
you all played
your parts so well,
the alternates,
the understudies,
the principle,
the director,
the cameraman,
all parts
of your team
your game
the players unplayed
by prison,
by wives,
by families,
by violence,
