The Strangest Me I Have

the strangest me I have
attended this morning in mind
pointing out things I didn't know
about myself
for example the power of resignation
that I demonstrated by not rebelling
when the garbage swallowed my convictions
and also the ability to heal myself
of the painful wounds that were inflicted
by the continual battles of contradictory thoughts
the weirdest me take charge sometimes
if higher emotional intelligence is needed
to resolve these existential questions
for which I traditionally have no answers
for being a complete idiot
when the matter concerns
to something other than
the usual simple and regular self.

This is a FAVE for me, Marco. I have felt like this so many times in my life...until, I said I must rely on some "higher emotional intelligence" even if I haven't the faintest damn notion about whom that might be. Good writing, as always!
