Trippers and askers surround me,
People I meet . . . . the effect upon me of my early life . . . . of the
ward and city I live in . . . . of the nation,
The latest news . . . . discoveries, inventions, societies . . . . authors
old and new,
My dinner, dress, associates, looks, business, compliments, dues,
The real of fancied indifference of some man or woman I love,
The sickness of one of my folks . . . . or of myself . . . . or ill-doing . . . .
or loss or lack of money . . . . or depressions or exaltations,
They come to me days and nights and go from me again,
But they are not the Me myself.
