ONTOLOGIST

I guess 
in the 
end—What I'll 
Be
is a list—he 

was born,
then he
worked
for a while, then 
he died (perhaps addend—in a 

personal style—
sincere 
but not 
serious—his words

they were neat and 
distinct—and a lot

of them touched 
off some slight-
ly unique-
ly benign 
public consequence).

But the matter 
of—Who 
I'll Be seems

a bit messier—even 
as I suppose
that it's

only three—
of these

neat letters—TBD.
