"the I which is not i"

"the I which is not i"

i feel much smaller than the I.
the I is straight, it is tall, it is defined, it is unified
it knows what it is and why it stands
it is a skyscraper of defiance
it makes a statement and a point
yet me inside is not ready or worthy of a capital
i am disjointed
i am small
i feel much less than tall
why does english demand we use the I,
the I which is not i?

The I in the previous post was me. I mean I. The I which is I. :-)

LOL. hi again EG. in regards to your other comment, I'm still a student, nearly half a doctor now. I also would agree about how it's sad the way doctors and insurance companies work as a symbiotic parasite. I'm still trying to figure out how change should come. Thanks for your encouragement to write again. look forward to comments and challenges when i do spin up something else to post.

Wow I just realized that it has been a long time you have not written. "symbiotic parasite" is a very powerful way of describing the relationship. I hope you start blogging again. BTW be a doctor already! We need good people doctors. Not parasite-doctors. EG
