About you: I can't make it. I meet with my analyst on Tuesdays from 5:30 -7 so I probably won’t make it. But I wouldn’t worry about it. At least they didn't find anything that would embarrass you. When I went, they found an alarm clock and a feather duster. Try explaining that away... This has been steadily approaching since the invention of television. Starting today, I'm going to boycott Christmas, turn off my television, vote against every tax measure, every political incumbent regardless of political affiliation and if I had kids in school, I'd remove them. No, but seriously, we made eye contact, and I can't believe I am actually doing this. I have had 2 wives. They were both bitches. Once, I can understand. But twice? Anyone ever clue you in that like attracts like? I am just going to sit back and watch the carnage.

You

Name: You

Sex: Male

Favorite Color: Yellow

About you: Whose favorite color is yellow? Yellow sucks. No, really, I like yellow. I own about 5 yellow shirts and a windbreaker. My ex-girlfriend hated the way that I was always talking about liking yellow. But anyways, more importantly, why I am here today is to tell you about myself, about who I really am. Who I really am. Who I really am is a young guy, a young white guy. I go to school and work sometimes for my dad. After I graduate, I might start working for him full time but I’d rather move away from here and do something else. I don’t know what else. No, that doesn’t freak me out. I feel like the pressure to get a job right out of school is pretty much non-existent nowadays. Well, at least with the people that I hang out with, except for my parents. But they’re not too bad either. I just don’t want to live with them for much longer. I like writing and reading books that I find at yard sales and used book stores. Books with covers from the seventies, you know those types of colors?

Name: You

Age: 99

Sex: Female

About you: I dedicated my life to my children, especially Linda. You could call me a devoted pollster. How did I go from canning fruits in the summer to telling nasty jokes about men? Real TV took up too much of my life in the end. It was boring but don’t get me wrong, I lived a great life, full of loving people, loved a lot of people. I outlived all of my siblings and was able to see born and cherish eighteen of beautiful grandchildren. Full of gratitude.

You

Name: You

Age: 41

Sex: Female

About you: This day, telling me to give my all… fear takes a back seat while the volume lessens in intensity… longing for an unknown, how and when it reaches a point of rest…

Instead of recognizing the facts, the lie proposed the day of birth holds strong onto the forefront of consciousness as an injection administered five hundred times daily before the awareness settles behind the door to our lives… until mounds of time have passed, jumbled and clogged in my mouth, falls this final speck of solitude.

Right after seeing Michelle off at the nearest airport, during Henry’s class and Jeff is telling me in detail about his weekend in Annapolis. The good market on East South Street was incredibly crowded today, offering turkey at $4.99; plus that man on the sidewalk who told me I looked like I had something to smile about… Who am I, this person?

This day has not come to me because I prayed; or pleaded; or cried through the night [only once]. Jeff can not save me, himself, working all day long while I am here typing, alone at the desk drinking this tea, the dark one, the bitter one… Who am I, me? You? You are still like me. The same. Recovering from last night, too much, excess… You are me. You can be here. You are, here. Standing alone yet surrounded. All is nothing yet is everything* but it will not be delivered yet to your ears or eyes nor will you ask to be born into paper form until you push, press, ask me to.

This is indicative of this, or that… telling one and another. This telling. Gazing beyond the telling will compliment another that wants attention, gifts, use.

This, now, is, only this. Him, only him, Michelle, only Michelle. This plague seems familiar to me, when it was closer, closer than now… before I knew better. Before this, trained to obey, giving oneself to the suffering and the interested and the promises to give. This can not continue this way, thought, action, day, fluid, murder, article, even revolution. Please, telling another is key. Key or next. Next would be okay. This gave me something to say and to write to use my time. Who am I, this person?

It will come again. Telling this is you and you telling me, now… telling this again. you
