In a box

I am in a box As I reach out Touch the walls This strange barrier that separates me From the other Anything external Different Other A hand from the box adjacent to mine appears Splayed against the wall I reach out mine The dark and light contrast Like the Chinese symbol Ying and yang Other clearly Other Even a child could tell the difference But, Who does it take to look past the differences?
