who am i?
line and dot
dot and line
on the dotted line i sign, i
i am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
i is my identity
have i an identity?
i have no roots
i have two roots
i think, therefore i am.
i imagine i am imaginary.
are you real?
imagine.
imaginary and real.
simple.
together we are complex.
together we are complete
but not whole
for then, i have naught, a hole
and no negatives
but i can be negative
i squared is negative
i am positive i am negative
so i am Z
the end
and the beginning
the all, the nothing, the infinite,
increasing infinitely in infinitesimal increments i tends to infinity.
and beyond.
i
who am i?
i don’t know.
do you?
i do
i does
i must do.
i make do with what i have.
i must make do with i
i am limitless, ceaseless, timeless
i am black, i am white, i am grey,
i fight, eye sight, i bite… i might
i write
i writhe
i right
i wrong
so i left
still
i
am.
i am the little straight line with a dot on top.
i am the square root of negative one.
i am me.
but mostly, i am
i

I first heard it when Amrut recited the piece for elocution.
Now I read it again and again.It really made me think and and to some extent realize the complexities associated with identity. Wonderful piece indeed. I really enjoyed it :)
