Party of One

Elder on inline skatesAll the selves I’ve been are with me.
These local selves
clamor and convene.
Then my extended self
gathers me up, lifts me
so I can see
through separation’s veil.
And all my selves
chime in delight
and clap our many hands in glee.

My nonlocal self
becomes a mountain
in which I sit.
And time moves not.
