Here and There

You are two things distinct,
  that exist yet unfurled

You as yourself,
  and as part of the world

Fundamentally the same,
  but functionally unpaired 

Your story twice told
  —as you’re here and then there

Very true, Kurt. To my point view, the problem lays in the pronouns. When you stop indetify yourself as you, or me etc., the functionally unpaired philosopher ceases to exist)
