Welcome to the Freak Show

Aristotle said, "the whole is greater

Than the sum of its parts"

In reference to human perception

We. Us. not only 1. Not only me.

Is the team greater than the sum of our individuality?

Potentially. Our individuality clashes.

Yet we complement each other’s weaknesses.

So separate, so distinct, yet connected and interweaved

Normal people will often say

"Part of me things blank,

And another part thinks blank."

How is that so different from how we operate?

Except, that part has a name

And doesn’t necessarily tell me how they feel

It absolutely blows my mind

That not everyone has people in their head

In fact, most people don’t

It blows my mind that most people

Wake up knowing who they are

Like, every morning. Every time

Just, eyes open, hello world, it’s so and so

I’m lucky if we’ve figured it out by 10 AM

Unless we decide the night before

Then, we make sure, but that still takes

Half the morning to differentiate
