Different And Yet The Same.

When you look at me
I'm startled  because
in no version
of the universe
do people like you
look at
people like me.
We are so
adversely different.
Different
clothes
possesions
lifestyles.
And yet
we are completely
the same.
The same
lungs
veins
heart.
The same tired soul.
Tell me then
in what version
of the universe
do we fall
the same way?
