In Contemplation 
September 22, 1991 

let me think of how to say this
who I am is important to me
and how to share this
let myself get to know others
is hard

what can I say? 
I often prefer to sit and think
or listen to the music
fluctuation in conversations
just flow in amongst the parts of it
before joining in
I love to speak of feelings
but when feelings do not feel right
I cannot trust a person well
remaining silent

I like to talk one person at a time
focusing consideration of the being
I like to read
so that I might learn other's views
and in focusing upon the single
concentrate my deliberation

I am afraid
of what I remain unsure
that if you know me you'll hurt me
or I you -
maybe existence is misunderstanding
but if I hide in a lie
maybe the lie tells truth at the time
when I am other than myself
fear makes so many faces of a person
I loose count
