There lies,
A wormhole inside
My psyche,
For my soul to commute to.
A journey of many births and deaths
In an instant.
Oblivious to myself;
As I turn into the ‘other’
Only to return back.
Home.
I travel light with nothing;
But
…mental baggage…
….A name…
….A mishandled genetic map.
As being;
A chosen one;
Whom Lord offered
Endless free passes.
As I jog between my parallel universes
I ponder,
Am i ‘this’ person
Or ‘that’ one?
And who am i?
When I am none.
