A shadow with pulled threads.--Ruth Stone

About Me

I am an infinite number of pictures. I am not even the Nth picture in that infinite series, because I am the entire infinity of it. And yet I am non of them at all, but something outside of that. I am the ultimate dichotomy. Just like everyone is. How can you say something definite about that which is indefinite? I am 1/N because that could be anything. I am my mother. I am my father. But not exactly. I am my sister. I am my child. But I could never dream of being so much. I am an artist. I am a scientist. But I fall short of the definitions you hold them to. I am tall to my son, but short to my father. I could say that I’m 18 and I like it, but not anymore. And I could be as old as time itself, but I‘m not quite there yet. So who am I? I am just me, and only for an instant.I am an accumulation of oddities and intricacies. I am human and therefore subject to change, sometimes too much too fast. I study life; my life, your life, his life, her life and that things life over there too. I'm virgo, pisices, aquarius and an all around bad speller. I'm not a girl who misses much. I'm well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane. In the pockets of my soul you will find poetry and rhythm. I have books and boxes, shelves and crates of random babblings that found their ways to paper, and a tama drum kit in my garage. Theres a base out there too. It's beautiful and red, though I don't know a thing about how to do it justice, and a puny little amp to boot. It is lovely and someday I might add a piano to that list. I just need the cash and the abition to go out and find one. Someday I'll find it.
