i was dreaming of a rendezvous,
one with the ‘me’ you know, then
with the ‘me’ people who know me
know, then
with the ‘me’ people who hates me
know;
do all the ‘me’ have a different
perspective
about things i know? where shall we
meet?
my son speaks of quantum physics
and I think i am volatile like his quantum
particles;
i can’t predict the ‘me’ someone
else know and
i have this tingling sensation
about meeting…
meeting my alter egos spread over some
other minds.
the three dimensional lie spread
over the horizon
with colors, sounds and
calculations,
crisscrossed network of millions
of consciousness---
i am a lost dot somewhere; let me
float in bliss
without much ado, let me float
where color drips
without alter egos, where words
flow with rhythm,
yeah, let me be the lost dot until
or unless
you find something more precious than
‘bliss’…
let that tingling sensation rest…
I really like this, Sreeja........the floating "where color drips without alter ego". I can see you, as an artist, relishing that spaciousness. I guess the main person who has to know who we are, is ourselves. Other people see us through their own perceptions, not always accurately. A thought-provoking topic.
ReplyDeleteHi Sreeja, this is neat. No, we "can’t predict the ‘me’ someone else knows" and that brings along all kinds of complications.
ReplyDelete..
I love your pondering about me... and somehow I feel it both means being a part and being apart... like quantum physics.
ReplyDeletemeeting my alter egos spread over some other minds.. fascinating thought!
ReplyDeleteWe are an universe of "me's" trying to connect whole. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteWow, I really love this. Especially the first two stanzas... first two lines of stanza #2, wow. So great.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see you again, Sreeja. I like this poem and the contemplation of just who a person is. So many deep thoughts here. This poem is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteReally thought provoking ~~~ now I must settle in and determine who the real ME is.
ReplyDeleteThat ending works so well at making sure that things keep on going...
