Mag 96 -- look alikes

It is said that when two people
livetogether for many years
they grow to mirror one another, to
LOOK AlikeekilA KOOL.

The year Milly left she read
nothing but Sylvia Plath;
she secretly arranged for a
family reunion at Disneyland; and
she stopped looking at herself
in mirrors.

The day Milly left she wrote
a note to her husband
on back of the birthday picture
he took (HE SNAPPED):

I can no longer 
live in your shadow,

and I refuse to be 
your beard.
