Alfred Pennyworth: Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I see another me
looking in from the mirror.
Palm to palm,
nose to nose.
We stare across the barrier
looking through
to another world
we'll never enter.

The other me sighs
and closes her eyes
and I stare through
the close lids
looking into her mind,
how different it is from mine.
A different world
A different person
A different me
I will never get
the pleasure to meet

You've explained that feeling that I've always had in a way that I never could.  I love it. :)
