Alternate Realities

You aren’t a duality of opposites –

you are divided into alternate realities –

which coax, assist and tease each other

into psychic siblinghood. Whatever could

or would or should have been between you

now is moot. You constitute a mild amalgam

which collectively produces self: a complex

root to which you owe the bind of mind

you sometimes call your own. Though

secretly you know it’s all on loan.
