As a child, they teach you what is And inquisitively you find it isn't What is and is not, and where do I come in? I, who think and feel, but not my own She, who walks, is not I As I, who think, am not her Still yet, we are joined at the hip, we are twins The big sisterly ghost and the little sisterly robot If I am who I am but not who she is And she represents me Then only tangentially do I see these creatures The pigeons, lizards and moles As well as horses, cats and dogs And still yet, those too are me and not I All are shards of the greatest Broken Mirror Or fragments of a fading memory in Him As the famous term insists, a writhing mass Though writhing is incorrect, it is unmoving Stable, expanding, becoming-living and unvoid Moving all which moves and breathing all which breathes It is in him that we are finite, but becoming-infinite Approaching eternity while rotting away meaning Mirror images of mimicry and specters of words Colliding in the Great that is Unknown but Knowing So finally, all I see is that which is synthesized A world created just for me, a tale untold They, the Otherness spouts drivel and slander About my sight being the flaw in my Machinery I am she, and the fauna which you see I am she, and the great Anomaly To paraphrase He, who is Perfect and Unmoving I am that I am, I will be what I will be
