- I SALUTED a nobody.
- I saw him in a looking-glass.
- He smiled--so did I.
- He crumpled the skin on his forehead, frowning--so did I.
- Everything I did he did.
- I said, "Hello, I know you."
- And I was a liar to say so.
- Ah, this. looking-glass man!
- Liar, fool, dreamer, play-actor,
- Soldier, dusty drinker of dust--
- Ah! he will go with me
- Down the dark stairway
- When nobody else is looking,
- When everybody else is gone.
- He locks his elbow in mine,
- I lose all--but not him.
