I asked the lady by the door,
peeping in see the room,
"Do you know where I sit?"
She smiled and said,
"Your card is placed!"
"That's the problem!" I cried,
I seem to have forgotten my name.
"What am I called inside the room?
Is it the same when I'm out, or at home?
Do I have only one name,
or can I have more,
like, go by four?"
There was noise in the room,
a constant wave of a murmur,
and I stood there, alone and scared
trying so hard to remember
I lost my name outside the room
I lost my table, my people, my place
I stood outside the room for a while,
then silently walked away.
