How Do I Know You Are Not Me?

This one leans into relation and difference—the fine tension between recognition and otherness, and how knowing unfolds between:


TOPO:
Sometimes I see myself in you.

RHEO:
And sometimes you vanish into the unfamiliar.

TOPO:
So are you like me—or not?

RHEO:
Both.
We are patterned differently,
but patterned through one another.

TOPO:
Then relation is not based on sameness?

RHEO:
No.
It is the navigation of difference.
Not erasing it—but learning to live beside it.

TOPO:
So I know you not by collapsing you into me—
but by staying with the tension between us?

RHEO:
Exactly.
That tension is understanding.


RHEO & TOPO:
To know another is not to reduce them—
but to let the distance between you speak.
