A man named You (pronouns)
by @bardo
He came up to me this guy and introduced
himself
"Hello", he said, "I'm You"
I looked at him uncomprehendingly, even a
little afraid
I thought 'How can you be me, I'm me... not
you'
It's like he'd come to take me over
He was after my pronouns
He wanted to own me
It was like Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Or the Angel of Death, the Grim Reaper come
to get me
I was about to take off running down the
road
I thought "You can't take me, I... I'm already
taken
Then I thought 'If you're me then who am I,
I'm what then....
Maybe that was it, maybe I was a What now
And he... he was a What-not or a not-What
"You! You're You", I said back to him a little
doubtfully
"You", he said again this time with emphasis,
"You O'Brien"
I looked at him closely "You, you're You O'Brien" I said slowly confirming what he'd
just said/told me
Then it hit me You!... Hugh the Borg from Star Trek (the Next Generation LoL), that episode the Borg collective Guy becomes an individual
"You're Hugh" I said greatly relieved, you're
Hugh, Hugh with a H
It was like I'd been released 'So you're not
me after all'.
When he'd gone though I thought, maybe if he had of being me he might have made a better job of being me than I did.
