Belligerent Poetry

what separates?

and how different are any of us really,
despite the myriad of lives, of choices,
and of possibilities
so many tiny moments
(though they seem so long)
have brought you here today,
but had they gone
but slightly different,
would you and i be
opposite,
me reading your thoughts,
you calmly watching my eyes...

perhaps, i say, perhaps
and the beauty of it all
is we will never really know
how close we may well be.
