Dreams are our futures

sharing with our pasts,

and we their interpreters,

frustrating the first

and misunderstanding the latter.

We rewrite our pasts

every time something changes

while pretending to live in a present

that doesn’t exist.

See?

It didn’t even last one second.

How many selves do we churn through

over the course of a lifetime,

and are any of them truly us,

or is there no us at all?
