A GRAMMAR OF IDENTITY: Some thoughts about multiple selves About eight hours a day I'm a worker-robot, and six hours a day a breathing corpse. About two hours a day I'm an amazing dreamer, and for the same time an avid gobbler of texts. About an hour a day I'm a language learner, and the same time a beast consuming food. About forty minutes a day I'm a compassionate listener, and an utter fool at least the same amount of time. A few minutes each day I'm a magical creature, wiggling each toe with joy. With so many different "selves" appearing & disappearing what fiction would you choose to invent when asked, "who are you?" ===================================================================================== from How Weird: Out of the Box of Expectations by T Newfields Summary: A post-modern poem about how identity can appear to be a scripted performance.
