Viduality Poem by Hans Ostrom

Sometimes I'm an individual,
other times a dividual. Often now
I'm a digividual harried
by image-after-image-after
image. When I hold contrasting

views at once, at once I am
a stereovidual, who listens gladly
to uncertainty's paradoxical jazz,
ambivalent riffs unspooling, unresolved.

This viduality of mine's
less simple than certain very
certain individuals would
have me believe. They would
have me believe in my
singularity. Not so fast, say we.
