Going Both Ways

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Duplicity in Illusion

You can't be in two places at once

Sure I can--with you, I'm here

But we're not there, neither confronts

My life spans--both there and near

.

You can't do both at the same time

Sure I can, I multitask

You can't be both common and sublime

'Tis my plan, if I'm wearing two masks

.

You can't save both people right now

I can, too, myself and my lover

But you can't rescue them somehow

Watch me do, myself and the other

.

You can't turn back a clock both ways

Exit and entrance, I walk the future and past

But it's only the present that round-the-clock stays

Watch us dance together, at last
