Ricoeur treat
one self in another masked
as some super self, or shadow
disguised as quickening sand
through an egg timer
that leads to Easter island
or China syndrome, yaks
at the Great Wall divide
competing falling empires
and when they serve up
the dim sum dumplings
you can't be found and
some voice says, Yo no soy
saucy insouciant smile
bucky bucky beaver dent
oh boy
