This poem
Is not that poem

It’s a different verse
Neither better nor worse
It’s just not the same
And it doesn’t claim
To be that poem

To be exact
It is in fact
This poem

Which is fine
It’s not a sign
Of things amiss
To be this
And not that
Or a cat
Or a hat
Or a bat

It’s this poem
Which is not that poem

      I don’t mind this, but I’ve never been keen on that.

      I think of it more as ‘the other’.
