the one real true otherwhere

set both sides of the mirror

front and rear simultaneously,

a fabled unseen world, a fibre

highway parallel universe

that clever men have sought

to study, to know, to visit and

have pondered upon for eons,

a kingdom of differing sameness,

where good is evil, reality unreal,

identities become fantasies

seamlessly juxtaposing genders

personalities and habitual traits,

where man may walk on water

move and not be seen, become

a prince, a king, an emperor all,

voyeur, lover, thief or beast

a rabid despot or passive sage

unfettered and ungoverned,

be virtually anything

his heart desires
