FIVE: no meMartin de Porresjust the other day i was walking around, you know, just wandering around the other day, just like that, when i saw something quite extraordinary, quite out of the ordinary… what i saw was someone, who looked exactly like me. now when i say she was exactly like me, i don't mean to say that there was a resemblance i'm not talking about a likeness, what i mean is rather that we were exactly the same - identical. quite gave me a start it, did, to see myself like that… and what i did was i walked up to myself, and i asked myself how i was doing. trouble was, each time that i opened my mouth to say something, this other me insisted on speaking at the exact same time, identically. and i could never quite catch what she was saying because i'd also be busy speaking at exactly the same time. and so we stood there a while with our mouths agape, (but not really making much by way of headway, you understand.) so eventually…i just stopped talking i just stood there smiling… and she was smiling too.. and so we stood.. smiling silently… identically… and then i walked on.
