ARE YOU YOU?

Are you a writer, or that which is worded? Are you a shepherd, or one of the herded? Which are you—a What or a Who? It sounds well to call yourself "one of the flock," But a sheep is a sheep after all. At the block You're nothing but mutton, or possibly stock. Would you flavor a stew?

Are you a being and boss of your soul? Or are you a mummy to carry a scroll? Are you Somebody Else, or You? When you finally pass to the heavenly wicket Where Peter the Scrutinous stands on his picket, Are you going to give him a blank for a ticket? Do you think it will do?
