Photography, Poetry, and Writing by Philip Seidenberg

Nobody

Picture
Except for who you let will ever sweep you off your feet. 
Nobody can steal you from yourself,
Nobody but yourself, or...
The self you perceive as self,
Nobody can steal a self from a self who loves itself.

Of course it is selfish to base this on one's self,
When the others mean so much to us,
When the others are in us,
Pulling our perceived self's strings.

Unity reversal.
When everyone else is self and selfish is thought of as taking from self,
When self is us,
Us is me,
...and selfless is perceived as selfish, selfish; generous...
Then one less word to define a heart felt act composed of self and less would be more.

Stealing ourselves from ourselves is the only act of war. 
 
Nobody... except for who you let will ever sweep you off your feet.

Practice unity reversal while you're still in dress rehearsal.
