Why don't you want to posses me 
                why not why not why not why not why not

        when I am alone I give myself more names and create more lines for severing:

            there is:
                I[][][][]
                    [][][]i[][][]
                        [][][]
                            [][]m[][][]e[] 
                                    [][][][]
                                        [][][][][]
                    and still others; fractured and lingering

        I put my hands out and ask them to be filled and I receive NOTHING 

                        and against my back-- not a single breath! 

        And when I ask for spirits they do not make a sound! 
                HAUNT ME! HAUNT ME! HAUNT ME! 


                                                                I am swallowed whole: there is almost none of "me"
                                                                left! I might as well be possessed for there is 
                                                                                        not much to lose is there?		


                                         !
                                        ...
                                       ......
                                      .........
                                   !............!
                                      .........
                                       ......
                                         ...
                                          !

            remember when it was not just self but the whole world all encompassing? I am I am I am I am
        I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I was 			        I saw the spirit
                                                                                        in the world laid
                                                                                        out so bare before
                                                                                        me then. 



            And at once everything was glowing. It feels like a dream now. It is always 
                    "there"
            And never 
                    "here" 
            Isn't it... hm.
        

"take me back," you say.
