Your Very Self


       Are you normal? Are you silly?
       Are you pretty? 

       I forgot.

       Are you peppy? Are you earnest?
       Are you ugly?

       I forgot.

       So it is neither here nor there.
       You do not need to be aware 
        of names and labels, categories.
       You are your Very Self you see.
