I testify

before myself

I do not know what is best not to know in this age of knowledge

I do not remember what is best to remember,

in this age of digital photography

I cannot say what is best not to say

now when I smile with my fingers

imitating faces

I cannot define myself now,

when I know myself best

as opposed to the proximate second

when I find myself wondering who am I

I cannot let you say you love me

before you learn to hate me first

I cannot live for real before accepting

that this world is a second hand dream

and so is the air, the water and the thoughts

blackening pages blackened before

describing emotions already felt
