Even though you are reading this in English
We really speak in different tongues,
Evidenced by difficulty in reading my words
Sitting next to the ease with which you write
Your own.

While a few close say that all is one
That's a good point, but kind of for fun,
There's a reason why we're separated by infinity
That-which-does-not-exist, fallen from the sun.

Any words you read: like strands of a double helix
Mirror is a good word, still too perfect
So pull my heart out, spit in your hands and rub it
It takes plasma to ignite a star.

At this point the poem has ended,
We all come and go alone.
