    I think that's some of what the poem is asking. Yes? No?

That's definitely a way to read it, and the thought definitely crossed my mind a few times when I was rereading sections while finishing it.

In writing it I was thinking more about how when we get to know people intimately, there is a certain reflection of oneself visible in them. You can look at them, at their actions, into their eyes and empathize so completely that you become them, in a way.
