P/N Without E

I am just like you.
I am very dif­fer­ent from you.

I walked through all the same doors of devel­op­ment as you.
I arrived at them at nearly the same time as you.
My pass­ing through them had most of the char­ac­ter­is­tics of your pass­ing through them too.

Still where we have arrived isn’t the same.
Mine is uniquely my own.
Yours is uniquely your own.
From our own minds eye.

Aggre­gated, still, we look the same.
Undif­fer­en­ti­ated in the fil­tered view.
Con­sumer, tax­payer, job holder, eater of food.

But here we are and here we are.
Both the same and dif­fer­ent.
All at once.
Appar­ently dif­fer­ent and the same too.
