I shall become, such as I am,
By ‘identifying’ as that which I am not.
I shall become something external,
Ready made, off the shelf,
A prêt à porter self
A collection of stereotypes, eternal,
For I shall attempt to cram
Every hackneyed idea about this other creature
Into the new version of me,
Every cliché will feature
While anything unique will rot,
And ALL I shall be, will be that which you can see.
