Transcendental Sonnet #818:
Who Why or Whether
In ten years one can lose a lot of energy
What then seemed ordinary now looms as daunting
I look back and wonder what has happened to me
I suppose this is what comes of ten years haunting
Has it been that long since I lost my family?
Did I ever have anyone? If not how can
I feel the ache of loss as though it were today?
That could not have been me perhaps some other man
Is doing what I do and saying what I say
Unsure altogether of who why or whether
He is me or I am he I must go away
But before then I must pull myselves together
I wonder which of me will live and which will die
And what I leave myself to be remembered by
