#at the mirror above the wash basin
i pause at my reflection
in spectacles and muffler
is a face familiar
where have i seen him, where?
i remember it was beamed on tv, newspaper
made headlines for some days
before on an early dawn
he was quietly snuffed out.
from the mirror
i make a hasty retreat
so closely resembles my face
with that terrorist!
back on the writing table
i ponder
if the resemblance
goes beyond the face!#
