everything is the same

everything is the same

nothing is the same

 

everything:

same heart, mind, and soul

same body, face, and eyes

same family, job, and home

same sun, moon, and stars

 

nothing is the same:

not heart, mind, or soul

body, face, or eyes

family, job, or home

sun, moon, or stars

 

similar, in some cases

in some cases, not

subtle, in some cases

in some cases, drastic

known, in some cases

in some cases, mysterious

now wondering if anything can ever truly be the same

or if anything can every truly not be the same

or whether there’s any difference

if everything is somehow already perfect
