I am Jake or Edward or Jane
three avatars videoing the role n voice I once had
moving hands and mouth mindfully
moving hearts seemlessly
reviewing what Jake, Edward or Jane,
all but me, have to say
working multiple jobs for company A, B, and Z
“Edward’s so diligent,” said Eugene:
my old lady neighbor
has no knowledge of Jake nor Jane
I assembled myself myself, myself, over time,
I appropriated features none my own
cooption is the new me
adoption, disjunction, rinse, repeat, then let go
I am by my self, now, I am free
me myself and I and my bio suit now hang
out onto a too short twin seat sofa, Gnëkobrüdlf,
In a prefab condo off of Second Street
Eugene is fifty years older then me
We get along without dissonances
No hiccups,
no surprises with Eugene
my imaginary friend
my friendship imagined
my reimagined me
