DIALOGUE
Who are you, who are you, who are you?
I tell him why I matter.
But who are you? he asks.
And I tell him I matter.
Obviously. You're mine.
But who am I? I ask
and beg him to answer.
You're mine.
Obviously.
But I matter.
Tell me you matter, he says.
I matter.
But who are you?
I'M YOURS.
Do you matter?
OBVIOUSLY.
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? I ask.
And I tell him it obviously matters.
What obvious matters. Why do you want to know?
Who are you?
Reader. You're mine. I matter.
But "I"?
But who are you?
