Briefly, who am I?
If, like Malkovich
I could step inside
The doorway to my mind
I would meet a stack
Of frozen objects
Boxes, holding friends
Past loves; people,
Art and toys and
Holding them in place -
An idea I have.
Of whom I think I am:
An empty mannequin;
Frozen harlequin,
Holding many finely,
Balanced things;
Moments of life, resting
One upon the other.
And perhaps a face
That's like a Rubrics cube
Twisted into my face.
