Little bits and pieces of me
have come from the writers I hold dear
and the words that have been said
by those I'd never met
I wish to be a congregation
of values not my own
As if only then
its differentiated compilation
could be rendered
my own.
I like to read
I like to read because
I then consume
the bits and pieces
restricted to another.
Because
once the bits and pieces amass from the sources they'd known
then
they are restricted
to myself.

Different excerpts by different authors shape and mold the person I am today.
