A therapist told me I have all the indicators of a multiple personality except the crucial one: memory gaps.

But all of you have memory gaps every night!

Is my multiplicity linked to the way I DON'T forget my dreams--those other selves we all have? My dreams consistently warn me against trying to unify, become a single self--too much unity is stifling. For a shamanic artist at least.

The scattered words in this picture-poem read: "O my souls... why won't you merge? Other folks do FINE on one self! Why can't YOU?"

And my souls, plural, answer "Well if we did, would we mash together into one big bloated BORE?"

The me on the lower right adds parenthetically "No, we'll only merge this deep..."

Communication, yes. Love, maybe.

But unity? Hell, no!
