Be1ngs. With a 1 in place of the I. Many of them.

1 as I. As I am 1.

1 as singular, with concessions.

 

A be1ng caught in the act of creating her own reality.

I am 1, a be1ng, who brings things into being.

I am multiple, thereafter. Proudly so.

A be1ng caught exploring multiplicity.

I am everybody. Identity for me is self-creation.

That includes the environment I inhabit.

I divert, and enjoy that a lot.

 

A be1ng caught in the performance of appearing.

I am exalted by diversities, and strive to take things to extremes.

I seal myself in second skins or shield myself in balloons.

Collars are my idea of elevation. Drawstrings allow me reconfiguration.

In toes is my geometry. I bloom therefore I am.

A be1ng caught hanging there.

I find things that speak to me, in space and time.

Out of scale, soft to the touch. Furry. Shaggy. Papery.

I wear moments. I speak hours. Back and forth.

I feel patterns, in the rain.

A be1ng caught in the logic of the illogical.

My thoughts are algorithms. Errors give them rhythm.  

Randomness is my idea of bliss. Experiences are what I dress up with.

I digress in artificial pleasures.

Be1ngs, enjoying bringing things into being. Creating and re-creating. Making, doing, mending, collaging, clashing, merging, morphing, to infinity and back.

Be1ngs, being themselves.

Many of them.

And more.
