Opening lines to a piece I wrote so long ago I can barely remember anything but the opening lines..."I have multiple personalities/They all answer to the same name." Then it went on in very much this same style..."one is a lover/ the other hates...one is a fighter/the other makes peace" etc, ad infinitum. Your piece reminded me of this. Thanks for the memory.

Peace,
Barry

glad i can jar memories, and tip hip
this is the best part of the trip. like Jim say
but i'm not Jim, as far as multiple-personality
i suppose to be a poet, one must be able to flip
between personalities, and not get stuck on
the split, i gotta split....time to submit.

peace , love and diggers
