Copy cat crime

Duplicate me, I'm as plain as can be
In a spring wink we'll be
a yin and yang fifty fold

Picture you, wrenching blue tac bundles
gentle as a sneak thief. A white board
labelled evidence map.

Displays us, our sibling angelhood. Proof
vaults like iron filings to magnets
when details can be exhaled like a yes or no
