My Shadow knows or does he?
He does not always mimic me;
his job supposedly. I notice,
at times he hides out of the light.
What's he doing there; giggling,
dozing or plotting an insurrection?

At other times, walking with me,
his movements go errant. A test?
More likely, he's making fun of me!
Look at him! A slight hunched over,
a tiny stagger in his mimicking steps!
He's playing Elderly! He's not funny!
