I am or we are, that is the question
the drama of everyday life
Am I myself or do I join
a group, do I want
cover, but not too many
claims to my freedom?

That there are rules, but
enough options left
to evade them legally
to look the other way
and gain an advantage behind the scenes
even though I know (if I want)
that there is a higher Me

that does not want to harm itself
certainly not want to mutilate itself
with sticks, stones, scimitars
or very civilized in one
fell swoop with the push
of a button
