0025 If You Were Me, I'D Be You, Too - One For Plato

If we were all exactly the same,
what would the effect be?



would life be simpler,
and totally boring with it?
and poetry, unnecessary?



for instance, you'd know
how much I love you
down to the very first and last eyelash of a kiss



so I wouldn't need to write
a poem about it



and you'd know that
and I'd know that



but you'd know that
although I know
you know that



there would still be
the miracle



that when I look at you
I see a finer image of myself
reflected in your eyes



would that go, or stay,
if I were you,
and you were me?
