Identity


12 letters of my name, altogether, I thought, form my identity. I meditated upon my name. My name ALL IN BLOCK LETTERS My name In Small Letters With Initial Capitals My name in Times New Roman, Font Size 12 My name with a Suffix My name with a Prefix My name underwent a series of modulations and became a farce! Who am I? A name! But even the name now I meditate upon had long become a numeric entity. 1/147: the administration verifies the registration, and confirms my identity; 2492318: the immigration tallies its record, and verifies my nationality. My name refrains from identifying me; My name contributes to my vulnerability; My name only exhibits my non-existence. This time, I silently chose to unwrap the cover of my name only to see my temporary identities sink into the oblivion.
