I
am
exactly
who I
say I am.
This much is
true, in and of
itself.
Yes, you are
exactly who you
say you are. One,
two, three, maybe
still one more.
He is exactly who he
says he is. Take this
claim; ponder it; put it on a shelf.
But wait, is this now a
tetrad? There is still one left,
remaining to be accounted for.
It speaks on rare occasion. One is exactly who one says one is;
assert oneself!
At least a couple of these elusive characters always seem to take the back door! Some say there exist still more. Fivefold or beyond? ’tis a matter of perspective.
Some far-off places recognize yet others, but to us, everything’s subjective.
(INTERMISSION)
Here is a novel idea. How would you like to meet some friends of mine? They’ve many a good old story.
Of course, each one has his oddities or quirks,
so please remember, try to understand.
Keep in mind, they’ll talk about anything they feel like … morning glory, dearly departed old pet lory, even memento mori.
Some are naïve, not reliable, distort the facts. Why, some didn’t even experience any of those events firsthand! Others take a more detached, objective, insightful point-of-view. So we will take inventory… (Many hours later…) We will do this again sometime, invite others, have even more stories planned! “Who was that person who just left? A storyteller…? “Is that who you’d addressed?”
Well, sort of… but you still haven’t identified our first mystery guests
