Doppelgänger’s demon

Doppelgänger’s demon

we awake to fill time

wash, eat and work

if lucky we have a moment to smile

perhaps make a few phone calls

text like crazy otherwise

a Google search breaks the monotony

routine fills the remains of the day

indoctrinated disciples of a lonely world

family a toxic distraction

the idea to difficult to imagine if single

the lonely dog awaits your return

yet your mind is occupied by nothing

the laptop provides the only refuge

the Doppelgänger’s demon

be whomever you want, except yourself

anonymity and imagination at play

virtual becoming reality

time passes quickly when imitating the fool

the midnight hour passes

and so too does life


thank you,

joseph pede
