There's a man

There’s a man under the bridge near my home

So tall, he must bow his head

So tall, the bricks scratch his occiput


Our eyes meet daily when I take the shortcut home

So far, I must squint

So far, he’s not moving


“We’re not too different,” I tell myself as I stand at the porch

I, too, force myself in the box I won’t fit in

I, too, stare at who’s outside it


“But we’re not the same,” I tell myself when I unlock the door


Because I don't follow them home

The last stanza or sentence the because feels like filler. I really like how disorinting the poem feels. It's the best. Good repititon too. (Sorry I'm bad at spelling)
