YOU NEVER KNEW ME

I’m never really baffled but 
sometimes I will say that I am.  
Someone said I looked like Sean Connelly 
after I had grown a moustache and 
chin goatee and I am thinking, 
isn’t it the other way around, 
that Sean looks a little bit like me.  
It is perplexing and that 
might be a better word.  
I stopped at a service station and 
the lady asked about 
the Connelly possibility and 
I told her that I was the poet
A.H.McKricken and she said
I knew I knew you from someplace.  
Leave sleeping dogs lie, 
I thought as I moved on to 
the wedding hall I was looking for.  
A few made the suggestion at 
the reception which followed about 
who I looked like and I just shook my head.  
I was wearing blue jeans and 
a dark navy shirt with no tie to a wedding.  
Once there I felt overdressed, but then, 
thought I could unbutton the top of 
the shirt and walk around as if in 
a state of aloofness, but this was not my day.  
I was a guest and this is how 
Sean would have handled it.
