thoughts on a Celf left on the shelf

 





in this whole theatre of mine 



….. it is all about …..this searching for meaning 

                                              But even more, sometimes it is also about identity ….


How many times as a child did I have to reinvent myself whenever we moved….changing schools; peer pressures, bullies…. new mask, new shield ….a kind of artistry to it but…. you get so lost in there


I stumble over —what do I call myself 


and return to Electra as the natural conclusion 


born of illegitimate secrets and a pinned on name that was never my own that …. I could not wait to discard it…. then each name I hence acquired by marriage carried their heavy shackles but …. 


what’s in a name?


and so, yet again


 —a rose by any other name….


and…. 


am I not who I created after all? by intention or weird fortune this Frankenstein born of unheard of sums of algorithms…. but then so aren’t we all ?


never simplify 


maybe I am just a satire with its own natural conclusion
