Who is this man, 

this man in my skull, 

that speaks and writes these words now?

Is he below? 

No!

Is he above, 

way up in the sky, a heavenly eye?

No!

Ah ha, he is here,

Between the brink of my neck and the sky.

A whole globe,

The whole world suspended

inside of my skull, peering through the slits of my soul.


The author's comments:

I had orginally written an essay on the nature of conciouness under the same title of this poem and with the same idea in mind. However I think that there is no better way to convay the complex than through simplicity. I wasent able to veiw any of the images optional so I selcted a random one in order to submit.
