I Look Familiar

by Franco Bertucci

Am I the man
who trimmed your trees,
someone you knew in college,
lots of people's brother,
a famous singer
who can't afford a candy bar
from the vending machine?

Nope. But don't worry,
I get it often and,
to be honest,
I look familiar to me, too.

When I look in the mirror
I strike me as someone I should know,
but don't.
