TweeWo: the duality in us

Schizophrenics of the world, unite!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am schizophrenic
and so ... am I

When I diagnosed us as schizo, my alter ego gave me a chance. She said, "you have 10 questions to guess what I am, if you guess correctly I will leave you immediately".
I said "Are you me?". She answered "No".
I asked "Are you human?". She said "No. That's it. I'll stay in your mind forever."
I was astonished. "But you said I could ask ten questions, I only asked two".
She said: "I am binary."

"Alone? No. Don't worry, you are no longer alone". I heard myself say it out loud. In shock of my own words, I repeated the sentence in a whisper and realised I was telling blunt truth. You are no longer alone.

Oh dear god, I thought, I must be going mad. What am I doing? This is suicide. Like allowing madness to enter through the front door. The word madness kept burning in my mind's eye like it would scar my brain.

Relief to the agonizing pain came only when I heard your soft voice say "Thank you, the knowledge that you care is sufficient". It was then that I realised that I was actually not alone. I felt so grateful and told you. You said "Alone?"

Only two makes nature make three
Only two ears can perceive stereo
Only two eyes have depth to see
Only in two minds I can be...

My friend has this cute signature under his emails:
aibohphobia: n. fear of palindromes

I thought that was hilarious. Together we soon came up with another one:
hapobi: n. fear of anagrams

Now, while we are at it
phobiaphobia: n. fear of fear
then...
phobiaphobiaphobia: n. fear of recursion

How about:
notaphobia: n. fear of contradictions

and the final one:
thisphobiaisnotaphobia: n. fear of paradoxes

So... this is not a test
