A Poem

Inside of me I am Outside of me And beside myself

Like tables turned In a familiar room I bash myself And bruised Search for something I know

I hope I recognise it.
By Heather Sergeant


A better title

I like it. How old is Heather?

"A Poem" is a crummy title, though; in most good poetry, the title sets the mood for what is to follow. Now, of course, I can't pretend to know what was in her mind, but some ideas come to mind:

The Quest
Inside a Klein bottle
Familiarity
Return of the labyrinth

Encourage her to come up with a good title. It's harder than it first appears. ;-)

I like it :)

It has a certain koan-ishness to it, as good poetry should.
