How many I’s am I?

Your faraway look intrigues me more than the meeting of our eyes.

Where is the place you go to when your eyes drift

and you don’t see me while looking at me?

Am I there, too?

Do you, did you see me there, though I have no memory of it?

Is there a switch that shunts us from one world to another?

Or can we be in both places or more than two at once?

How many eyes do you see with?

How many I’s am I?
