Mistaken Identity
By Don Iannone

Every thought we have...
............filters out reality,
If you remain glued.........
..................to your ideas,
even your poetry,..........
........you will surely miss
.....................what's real,
Instead of just living,......
we try to build a life........
..............out of our ideas,
You are not who..............
............you think you are,
You are not who.............
...............I think you are,
...I am not who...............
I think I am,.................
I am not who.................
................you think I am,
You are and I am,...........
and that is simply enough...
