Analysis of Overhead
Aden 1987 (Colac)
Is a roof a ceiling or a ceiling a roof?
Are these doorways portals or are they doors?
Which label do we wish to use to justify our story most?
We use them both.
Interchangeably.
When we see fit.
When am I the hero and when am I the villain?
In any one moment I exist as a duality of both.
This is what it means to be and this is what it means to not be.
Always torn between definitions.
Forever labelled by oneself and others.
I would like to just be.
