Who am I


I am not who I think I am

I am not who you think I am

Am I my history?

Is my history documents about me or written by me?

There are artifacts I made in the world

Once I produced some 1016 26Al nuclei

They must be be still around but I do not know where

The 7Be I produced has long decayed since

all are objects beyond me


My history is my memory

My memory falsifies

All documents are incomplete

Am I other persons' memory?

Their memories are incomplete and skewered

I am not other persons' memory

Neurological research confirms

that there is no consistent I

Our thoughts flow fragmented

our experiences are delayed

We are just too slow

We construct our I

The construct is of joy or pain


Am I my emotions?

Emotions are there for the interval we call presence

some tens of milliseconds

The rest is memory of emotions

Memories of emotions have made it into language

Language manipulates

I am not my past joy or pain


Nobody can know who am I

There is no reason to know

I acted I wrote it is not my I anymore

My future I-s are unknown to me


I do not know who am I

Let other people talk about me

What they say is not I
