Déjá π

To understand Déjà π,

you must first know Déjà vu:

Imagine, 

you’re walking across a room

two doors, up ahead, flank you

and you must choose-

and in the moment of realizing this,

you also remember already doing it,

this-

the walking across the room

seeing the two doors

realizing you must choose,

AS it’s happening to you.

It’s different than your memory

when you did this same thing yesterday,

it’s the here and now in echo

the false memory of Déjà vu.

Now imagine, 

same walk, same room,

but this time 

you remember remembering Déjà vu;

it’s the feeling of remembering what you’re doing

as your doing it,

but also remembering you already remembered it

in a kind of double Déjà vu.

This sensation can get exponential,

so, where is the divide between multi- Déjà vu

and the infinitely more complex Déjà π?

The individual’s mind.

What if, when experiencing Déjà vu,

in any form between singular and multitude,

you could focus your thoughts through,

to see with the eyes of the other you?

This is the divide between Déjà π and Déjà vu…

A moment of consciousness split in between

the you that you are, and the you’s you could be

in infinitely expanded realities,

in a moment synchronized in the doing of a deed,

you have a chance to see as yourself, but also as they see…

Nine out of Ten choose the door on the right,

and still you see a hundred minds take the left,

and suddenly the sameness is like noise that’s white,

and the stains that show through are the difference-

a push door instead of a handle,

the right turn instead of a left turn of the knob,

the light that comes from a candle,

the silence instead of a soft distant sob-

follow it long enough,

and be conscious,

you can have a legitimate conversation

with any version of yourself like this,

see any reality you are a part of

all because

this flicker

of Déjà vu

opening a door

in the mind of the observer

who takes it to infinity

with experience

of multiple possibilities

simultaneously-

I don’t ask why,

I just called it Déjà π.
