When I Become You 
 
When I relate to something 
I still imagine it as separate from me
And I understand it in relationship to me 
And everything I experience about it is only in terms of myself 
I engage in memory and expectation
And I can only know the other to the extent of my current learned knowledge  
But when I realize that at the core of myself and the other is a common space 
A common indefinable identity 
I am able to intuitively sense so much more than I already know 
I then don't relate to the other 
I simply become the other
