Where is it? Do I have one? Searching for an identity— Is it that simple, or is it That difficult? Peeking into that great, boiling pot of neurosis, Becoming hopelessly confused, Watching the bubbles from that pot As they rise and shatter the air With minute explosions. Looking at the world Through a fog of apathy, Seeing it being ripped apart by Wars, Crime, Racial problems, Addictions to narcotics, Alcohol and Tobacco. Wondering why the earth must have its hypocritical phonies, And realizing that they. Fearing exile into a panorama of false ideals, Took a pill And gave up Long ago. Wondering how they could give up so easily, And knowing the answer to one’s own questions. An identity. What is it? Where is it? Do you have one? 3

Identities— Elusive things. Leading one on a roundabout search For something unseen. How, then, is an identity Captured and analyzed? Identities. Phantom-like ideas. Seized firmly if the individual Is willing to do certain things. To open the mind that is pressured shut By unconscious insensitivity— To reach in, To take out new thoughts and feelings— To study them, Turning them over and over In the hand of the mind’s eye— To take down the curtains of ignorance— To ferret out the hidden ideas In the dark corners of the brain— To listen to and communicate with nature, Other people. And God.
