Hume

         A Treatise of Human Nature

“For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other. . . . I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but perception.”

when Pollan lifted this quote for his chapter of SELF  afterwards he entitled his foray

                                                                                   Circling the Self

first words of the following sentence  Who am I?

no one would have a better guess than him

think of the array of adjectives available to him

                                                     starts out with somewhat a police description

NAME

SEX

AGE

COLOUR . . .

               reading Circling the Self he stopped walking took a slip of paper he tucked at the back of the book took his red BIC out from behind his ear and wrote Circling the Wagons

                                                                                 Yeehaw

thought it didnt yell it

                             his list seemed  defensive 

cop would need his name wouldnt find that in the coffeegrounds residue in their convenient recyclable paper cup should they recycle  public servant public responsibility  they better

                                                              figured he or she could deduce his sex approximate age

old man  older man  he preferred older man to old man

then off to the broader deduction races

                                           hints head to foot

if it were he Circling the Wagons

                                   I want my lawyer hasnt one but has always wanted to say that

now he has

what else in his bucket list

 

    what if he were to take himself seriously

he wouldnt know who he was
