The Space between us All

I see you over there

            In your space

                        In your time.

But I am over here

            In my space

                        At my time.

Across Space and Over Time

            I can ‘other’ you,

                        I can doubt you,

                                    I can distrust you:

                                                You are not me,

                                                I am not you.

But I want us all 

            In the same space

                        At the same time

                                    Thinking about things 

                                                With like minds.

Space is just something light must travel through;

            If I see you

                        And you see me,

                                    Is there space between us?

Time is just sequenced events

            Stepping us from order to disorder;

                        But if we’re in a chaotic system,

                                    Is time separating us?

I say

            Forget the speed of light

            Forget encroaching disorder

                        I am right here, right now

                                    And

                        You are right here, right now.

We are just two different parts 

            Of one universal wave function,

                        Quantumly entangled.

                                    You determine me

                                    So I determine you.

I am here and you are here

I am now and you are now:

I don’t other you, I’m another you.
