Smoke The Cigarette & Get Lost.
I go to smoke a cigarette. Out the front door and onto the stairs. Then, before I light it, I see an image in my mind of a more perfect moment – sitting on the porch where sitting is meant to be done.

"Much like you, I've had many names, played many roles, lived many lives:
Adam. Able. Cain. Thoth. Lancelot. Merlin. Icarus. Machiavelli. Robin Hood. Loki. Lucifer. Casanova...
The jester. The martyr. The redeemer. The avenger. The leader and the follower. The social butterfly and the hermit. The conformist and the renegade...
The paladin. The serpent. The university student. The club kid. The entrepreneur. The apprentice and the teacher. The rising star and the fallen angel...
The prodigal son. Musician. Philosopher. Athlete. The protagonist, antagonist and narrator. The best friend; the arch-nemesis. A jack-of-all-trades and a an expert...

I am who I am. I do what I do. I have what I have. I say what I say. I feel how I feel. I think what I think. I am who I am.
I will be who I will be. I will do what I will do. I will have what I have. I will say what I say. I will feel how I feel. I will think what I think. I will be who I will be.
I am not my name. I never was. I Am Who I Am.
Now, I am to pose the question to you: "And you are...?"
