Finally

Finally
by Dan Ankers

I finally think I know where I go, when my head begins 'the spins' and my thoughts overflow.
I am but one paltry name and voice amid a questing chorus of different versions of myself, that are buried so deep within me that, over time, they have become a unified cacophony of wills that now overpowers and overspills into my reality, and thinks, "No, You can't ignore us. No, You cannot divorce us from your mind. And Yes, You must explore with us...once again, our oldest friend." "What type of life was it, that you were living on your own?...To think that you could hide from your own truest clones, from your very own kind...from those who lived so close to you, inside of your own mind!" "To be caged within that singular version of your selfhood, and to hold your own attention for so long, with such a remedial task as "DON'T EVER ASK OF US........ANYTHING-EVER-AT-ALL!" While, the potential for the questions that your brain, alone, could ponder, attempt to answer, and then explore, carried within it, more possibilities, than the sum total of all the objects on the ocean floor!"
"Inside your own mind, you are no more than a guardian. Remember that...carrying your own selfhood through this INFINITE pathway of your Yet. Still. Untapped. Human. Brain."

"Who are YOU to waste, all of that untapped inner space?"
"Such a disgrace!"
