    Television

    My image in the mirror went to sleep and woke up in the night-time moonless sky,
    with the moons resurrection the forsaken people
    began to chant at my reflection,
    the television in my living room
    swayed to and fro,
    i bought some seeds
    off the shopping channel to grow
    a version of myself.
    I walked the earth while
    this copy of me was prayed to on television
    and ignored in newspapers
    by the exalted people,
    he wanted to meet me
    but did'nt know i slept for
    years in his mirror.

    Very cool. It's going to happen to us all, one day.

    Very much enjoyed this one. Excellent!

    The difference for me between this one and Photographs was the lines supported one another in this poem from beginning to end.
