looks like you.
He wears the same kind of clothes as you
and goes to the same parties.
The monster listens to the same records as you
and has similar opinions
on the merits of various bands.
The monster may even support
the same football team as you
and be as highly regarded in his workplace
as you are in yours.
In fact, if someone saw you and the monster
side by side
one wouldn’t be able to tell
which was the monster
and which was the nice bloke.
And of course you are
a nice bloke
aren’t you?
