A is just an image of A and so it is of B C D or E by Ashok ShardaA is just an image of A and so it is of B C D or E
What A means to A
Is not
What A means to B
Nor it means
What it means to C D or E
If A means B
B is A
If A means C
C is A
If A means D or E
A is either D or E
But A is A
For what represents A
Though it is not
What it means to B C D or E
A claims
A is A
, Cause what A see
As A is A to A
And so claims B C D or E
, Cause what B C D or E see
As A is A to B C D or E
A is an image of A
And so is A
An image of B C D or E. 01/17/2003 Posted on 01/17/2003 Copyright © 2025 Ashok Sharda

Posted by Kate Demeree on 01/18/03 at 09:43 PM *softly smiling* yes... images, reflections. Reminds me of one of our earliest discussions I am looking back to see if you are looking back to see if I am looking back to see if you are looking back at me. We are all images of each other. |

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/21/03 at 05:06 PM Thought provoking combination of philosophy and physics, Ashok, or should I call you Bshok, or maybe Cshok, Dshok, or better Eshok??? :o) |
Posted by Cole Miller on 05/28/03 at 03:54 AM I absolutely love this poem, along with They Know K Is Not K. |
Posted by Alex Smyth on 05/29/03 at 04:08 AM This does seem to be about identity, perceived by others and ourselves. Perceptions aren't my strong point, but this one using familiar concepts and images makes for a thought provoking read! Congrats on making top 10(again!) |
