I Am Not I

I am not I.
I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see,
whom at times I manage to visit,
and whom at other times I forget;
the one who remains silent while I talk,
the one who forgives, sweet, when I hate,
the one who takes a walk when I am indoors,
the one who will remain standing when I die.

--Juan Ramon Jimenez

Night out

A pair of sixes land and all I can think is what do they think, as they see me bend to pick them up?
It's no good fortune, this limelight.
It only underscores every garish imperfection.
And it makes the looks
[pity
repulsion
fear]
so much easier to read.

To think that once I loved to read.
