Doppelgangers for everyone, someone else out of eight billion
A physical equal from birth, a mirror projection on earth
Where looks are the same, but what of the brain's claim?
Doppelgangers of the mind, our and their thoughts aligned
Both identical mentality, mirrored images in logic and personality
In time so vast could we have had a double in the past?
We live in a world matrix where genetics plays tricks
In all of plurality there is no individuality

This raises some important philosophical questions about individuality and genetics.I used to have a boss once and I saw her on the train one morning.I said hello to her only to find it was an identical looka like.Scary but true. Great poem that made me think
Years ago I came to work to find a picture pasted on the office wall of what I myself took to be me in the company of Ivana Trump from a magazine photo. I had no memory of such and event but faced many questions and thankfully my wife believed me.
Very interesting write which i have always wondered, there clearly are people who are identical in looks, I have wondered if in thought, feelings etc they are the same, enjoyed the read
Thank you Tobani I have known identical twins that were very different in personality but I have wondered it there are others that may not look the same but be identical twins in personality. I appreciate the read and comment

Thanks so much Andy your support means a great deal
A fine poem on an intriguing topic. The amount of times people encounter the double of people they know. Maybe there is something in it.
