I pushed the red button
The one that said don't push the red button
And ended up on the other side
Of something out of nothing

I was in another world
Another space and time
Where I appeared to see what looked like me
As I, me, and mine all intertwined

My guess is this is the universe
If I ever had my doubts
Parallel as far as I can tell
Or somewhere there about

When suddenly I walked up to me
Mono to Mono, Man to Man
Since I am me and he is me
Should we hug or just shake hands

That's when I asked myself to dinner
Where we had a pleasant time
I found out through all of this
That I'm a pretty likable guy

He as me picked up the tab
And me as he paid for the tip
As I insisted through all of this
That I'd get all of it

We talked about what I enjoyed
And much to my surprise
Everything it is I like
So do I

As we were both eating our just deserts
This info happened about by chance
That this wasn't at all a parallel universe
But the Southern most tip of France

I was wondering while I was out with myself
Why he was speaking French
Now that I think about it
It all makes perfectly good sense...
This is my entry for a contest I'm in on another poetry site. Meeting yourself in a parallel universe. I should at least win a stick of gum for this one!
