this just sort of coalesced

Identities: Me

I am moonlight, not sunlight;
Winter, not summer.
Museums, not stadiums, nightclubs or tours.
Going, not staying,
Bluestocking, not romantic,
Books, not video;
Credit for trying, not for attitude
Water, a little air and fire,
Hardly any Earth.

Impulse more than planning,
But logic more than feeling,
Silver more than gold.
Texture more than pattern,
Reading more than hearing,
Words more than art,
Head more than heart.

Thinking and doing both,
Being and seeming both,
Indoors and outside, home and away,
Alone and wth other people.
Western with streaks of Eastern,
Blue, green, red but not yellow,
Black and white and shades of gray.
