A poem about the various things people use to identify themselves.

 

I tried to find you behind

all those trappings you use to hide

layers of make-up and hair

interests that identify

music, movies, family, culture, religion

your city, your country,

are you a sports fan?

rap, rock or a little of everything?

hiking, parties, snowboarding,

conservative, liberal?

are you religious, an atheist, agnostic?

evolution or intelligent design?

behaviorism, existentialism?

which one is it?

do you drive cars from Japan?

or are you the all-american auto-driving man?

let’s make up a new brand

because I lost you at hello

and I’ve known you for years

interests, ideas, opinions

these are your options

now pick one of each so we know who you are
