And so we talk.
Some today.
Some yesterday,
more tomorrow.
You ask questions.
Consider the answers.
Make judgments
Finally the aha moment.
You know which label
to attach to me.
You never have to
listen again.
You know me,
who I am,
who I was,
who I am becoming.
And so I disappear.
I am what you say I am,
not who I think I am,
not what I am trying
to become, not what
objective data might suggest.
Never again to be listened to,
because
you have deprived me of
the ability to surprise.
Goodbye.
