In Response To: Is It Just Me? (Dr.Valerie)

I love how you explore the inadequacy of pronouns in describing something, or a concept that is so simple that it goes beyond words. It's quite comical too, especially with it's Dr Suess rhyme scheme. Keep up the great poetry!

Often, I wonder: Is it just Me?
: How does this All work?
: Am I me, or Me, or I, or Thee?

: How many of Me are there?
: Now do I call Us, We?
: And how many times have We
: become me?

: Over and again, I wonder: Is it just Me?

: How lonely did I get,
: to think up this game?
: To decide to be One, then Two,
: yet again?

: And how many of Thee want to
: become One with Me?
: Or is it I, or Us,
: or the Trinity?

: So again, I ask,
: as I have throughout Time: Am I me, or Me, or I, or Thee?
: Maybe it’s just Me.
