My poem was just published by Third Wednesday. Mary Rohr-Dann has three in this issue. Here is the link, I think.
Me and You
Friends and family
would often declare
with solemn authority
that my brother and I
were polar opposites.
Our literary cousin
Jerry, proclaimed
“Just like
Jekyll and Hyde.”
Yet the stories
they told
over the dinner table
were of your exploits—
not of my storied virtues.
I was observant.
I knew by age five
that the devil had
the best lines.
I learned
that behind
good grades
and a mild demeanor
I could get away
with nearly
anything.
You took the spotlight
I took the cake.
You never gave a hoot.
Told me that the North Pole
and the South
were not so very different,
in a voice so like mine
in tone and intonation
that with eyes closed
I could imagine,
I was the one speaking.
