Autobiography II

Fine. Don't believe me? Then subject me
to one of your tests--your meyers-briggs,
enneagram, ink-blot. Reduce me
to a number or two, to a little colored box
that is easy to analyze and classify.
You will no more know me
this way than you know anything
through mere words on a page,
no more than you know a sunset,
a mountain peak, a flight,
merely by reading it.
But it will give you a neat illusion,
it will make you happy,
and the colored box will be pretty to look at.
