My Real Age Is One

I just realised that my real age is one
Not one year, day, or even a minute
No
I am just one heartbeat old
Beyond that is not me
Is someone else who just looks like me
who relies on memory and habit
To reinforce his idea of self

Lovely piece, with a strong finish. The poem plays cleverly with the time and it reveals invisible dimensions and powers. I give a 9++. Thanks for sharing Shaun.
