I Googled Myself
to see what would happen
it felt good for a few moments
but I was not alone.
There were lots of me out there
all over the planet.
I was a doctor, a scientist, a murderer,
an artist, a clairvoyant,
a father, a brother, and a friend.
I live in Singapore, Athens, Oklahoma City,
Seattle, San Francisco, London, Oshkosh (B'Gosh),
and Pittsburgh.
I've written books, been married hundreds of times,
and have lived and died more times than I can count.
When I finally got to the real me
(after ten pages),
I was still here,
in living color,
looking at myself
for what I really was.
A writer who wants to be read.

Post a CommentI googled you to find you! There were a lot of you. You were found somewhere else and also in my heart.
Thanks again for recent comments. The positive feedback is very redeeming.
Great poem, and it hits very close to home. I constantly am searching for my name and things I have written to see if I can find them on the web. I enjoyed this poem very much!
Oh WOW! I think I'll google myself to see what I have done....I really enjoyed reading this
Thanks for all the great comments, so far. It's a pleasure to be read and admired.
Hey I loved this . I have googled myself too, not too many of me but it is interesting.
Wonderful piece. I've done it too.
Love it, I'm sill laughing. I must say the despription is what made me have to read it! Good job
Very, very nice! This smacks of a reflective and sharp-witted honesty. What a lark this researching yourself is, huh? Try putting your full name (first, middle - spelled out, and last) in quotes.
Just thought I'd throw that in there, even though it isn't really relevant to your poem which, again, struck me as quirky and clever. :)
