Yeah, I like it a lot. It's similar to my way of looking at things. If you'd like to see my poetry go to http://www.sometimes-ever-after.blogspot.com/. Don't let the flower and butterfly fool you, I still get it. Thanks for your voice! cory
My favorite words in the poem are 'exactly' because it comes right before 'whatever' which is a nice contrast, and 'temporarily' because I think of it in the sense of 'existing for a duration in time', like 'temporal', which is what everything is doing.

This is where you live On this sidewalk In this chair Among these people Wherever it is you actually are
This is who you are With these thoughts Eating this burrito Making these minute by minute decisions Doing exactly whatever it is you are doing
This is what you are Temporarily animated matter Atoms somehow made conscious Not separated by the boundaries you think you are Not different from other atoms Unique but not different from the other conscious beings that surround you
"Identity"
