The Look Alike

Hello, I am your look alike
Your banana loving look alike.
you place your hand ontop of mine,
You walk on two legs, I'll walk right behind. 
            ~          ~
Hello, I am your look alike.
Your swinging climbing look alike.
Your eyes are wise, and loving, brave.
And if you look I reflect the same. 
            ~         ~  
Hello, I am your look alike.
Your grooming grining look alike.
And since the dawn of evolution began,
I've been standing in the shadow of man.

    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
