Myself and Someone Else

This is my first performance poem, and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. This is for two simultaneous voices; spaces indicate breaks in speaking, so one voice will be talking in some spots while the other is silent. And vice versa. The voices here speak of a break up, an emotional divorce, as they focus on themselves and increasingly have no room for the other person in their conversation. I tried to work this for lots of musical effects; phasing of similar sounds, words, and phrases, counterpoints, and simultaneous sound effects, sometimes denser, sometimes less dense and diverging. The two voices speaking together of two very different lives lived at the same time in a relationship, two very different egos diverging, I think really captures the sense of how two people cannot be really in a relationship without compromise and a common viewpoint. I thought the theme would be a perfect trial for the construction. Let me know what you think.
