All the while I was
being numbered and

stored by history
as an example
of something
as flat and thin
as a picture
in a textbook
or an image
on film
I remained under
the illusion I was
merely living

Or something perhaps as thin as a computer punch card (oh relic of the time!), which we were warned not to ‘fold, spindle or mutilate’ . . . but which we did anyway. Life, and other illusions.

Ah, how all that folding, spindling and mutilating, over the problematic three-dimensional span of the years, takes its toll!
