Bilocation

Sounds like bile with relocation, wish to be elsewhere; Double vision, apparition, somewhere, nowhere, there; Concurrence, recurrence, boomerang or doppelganger; concentration, adaptation, cliff-hanger levitation. Mirror combinations put Alice through the looking glass sleeping in illusions or dreams of revolution. Visitors in time machines leave traces in the places they invaded - rearranging the derangement of your faces. How could anything be true, if there were two of you? Double crossing, double speak, double nothing, no clue.

Your seeming serendipity stimulates the neurons of this old goat. Very enjoyable and plenty of room for thoughts to proliferate, maneuver, and roam around. Thanks, Jeanette. ~ Gershon btw: I had just listened to John Lennon and Yoko Ono singing 'Give Peace a Chance' when I read your first four lines. I was roaring.

Your poem perfectly touches on the idea of being in two places at once, feeling like you don't belong, and the confusion that comes with seeing double or experiencing a sense of unreality. Well done. Thanks for your comment on my page

Thank you. Aimed for a playful tone with that kind of undercurrent about trust, confusion and deception ( or the perception of it).
