who i am (revised)
 

who i am i cannot say.
it wouldn't matter anyway.
less of nows, than yesterday.
less tomorrows than today.

and even i don't realize
how much of me is alibis,
policy or blatant lies,
masquerade or compromise.

and simply can't pretend to know
outside of how i come and go
or memories i tend to grow
just what of me is me to show.

tho lessened daily by degree,
til i resolve this mystery,
of what is not and what is me,
i pray for authenticity
