Constellations

The voices
         in this conversation
Are all the same
                  you
As the one opposing
               them,
        all laughing as one,
                         that's you,
    knowing all that,
        remembering,
                being
                               it
Though there was never it
        there
                  as much as you
    playing conductor,
           passenger and train
So magnificently,
           so seamlessly,
     you would think
           they were the same
                   person,
     not three, much less all 
                   of the others
Sharing a world of experience 
                           privately
        -- a moving train --
     where you know
               something's happening
                      without needing
         to confirm it
               with customers,
There's not even an
                       angel
     needed to know
                     it was you
     the whole time,
                        you.
