Notes About The Poem

People at work come across so different when you run into them outside of work.

On Negotiating With My Dissociative Identity Disorder

I met the new soul I was due to become, 
This morning, around about two.
He was beginning to redesign my thoughts, 
He was going to make me feel new,

When I thought, hang on, I haven’t finished 
Creating and being all that is me,
I haven’t finished building everything 
That is fun and friendly and free.

So we had a discussion about 
A time share throughout the year;
I could be the weekend painter, 
While he could be the career.

This morning my new soul and I started 
A great work/rest time plan,
Just the two of our souls living together
Sharing this one single man.
