Summary: A meditation on the idea of double, doubling -- a drabble-poem.



Are doubles identical, similar, same?
What kind of differences, more than a name?
Color and kind? Relative size?
If no-one can tell, do they win a prize?
Sometimes a duplicate, maybe a game
Solve the equation, no need to lay blame
What about twins, quadruplets, surprise!
Double or nothing, no quarter devise
Twice as much spirit, twice in the frame
Cousins or colleagues, so glad you came
Yes, two of everything, a plan only wise
Sort things in pairs, both hands, two bright eyes
Two stars in one orbit, ecliptic takes claim
Twinning and twining, two wicks in one flame
