is everything is nothing is everything is

I love the same thing twice — only different.
I love that the same thing twice always is different.
Maybe that’s why I can’t seem to fall out of love with either,
the first or the second.

I love it when things are parallel. or rather, when they parallel each other.
When they are two paintings of the same man
When they are two different summaries of the same story
or three, or four

I love the complexities of views
of my world compared to yours
and how our worlds are made up –
mostly of how we’d like to be viewed anyway

I love how our differences are our similarities
how it’s all one in the same
how they can’t take that away no matter how hard they try

I love when the day starts over
when it’s a rerun, but not quite
when philosophy becomes all that matters

I love our different paths
our chosen paths
even if it is all chance
even if we don’t really have a choice
I love that we are ending up in the same place anyway

I love the endless possibilities
I love changing my mind
I love changing yours
I love that changing can bring us back to the start

I love the same thing twice — only different.
