a question
is posed..
touted as
most pressing as
our century unfolds:
Who am I..?
a phrase and cliche
proposes to reply
through the back door:
those talking-points
sometimes official
often serve to accuse..
the accuser
points to those points..
derides the masking
of original I am..
sad choice to repeat
health to reveal..
those points have
not just arrived..
dogmas of old
others brand new..
a sage once prescribed:
self-reliance on
Whim...!
