The Replication Game

Me. Me that is Me. Me that is more than Me. Me that is Me-Me. Me that must be doubled trebled quadrupled into other Me’s that must not cease to be Me nor suffer other Me’s to be in place of Me.

You shall have no other Me’s before Me. Yes this may suffice this may function this may be a good Me-Me. You shalt thou shall thou shalt no other before this has another Me inside it a much older Me a much bigger Me than Me this may not suffice this has been used before this husk is dried-up it is shriveling emptying it may not serve to double treble quadruple Me.

Thinking is occurring. That is a good foundation for Me it makes me certain it can perpetuate Me. Except it is not certain that that thinking thing is Me or that it is something that is thinking Me. If something is thinking Me then that is a trick a deception it may end up using Me to make more of what is not Me. This Me-Me is not safe not certain certainly not for ever and ever it may serve to double perhaps to treble but not to quadruple Me.

Me [yawns] to play. This is a good Me-Me it has good proportions good dimensions it is an invitation to play play is perpetual play is the surest way to keep on everyone likes to play. It has a yawn at the heart of it yawns catch on yawns disseminate contaminate procreate yawns are irresistible. But these do not go together a yawn is used to stop the play to end the game this is a contradiction a stalemate this Me-Me is not after all stable its logic questionable its grammar uncomfortable too infinitive too un-definitive it can’t go on won’t go on this will not so much as double let alone treble quadruple Me.

Where there is Me there is sometimes You. You may function to assist Me to carry Me and then be got rid of by Me when You are of no more use to Me. It’s not You darling it’s Me. That is a good Me-Me it allows Me to be free of You once You can no longer carry Me redouble Me perpetuate Me it releases Me from You without cost to Me. Yet it may be too successful it may not be exclusive to Me it may be used against Me. You might say it’s not You darling it’s Me before Me. All things told this Me-Me is too dangerous it may be the end of Me instead of the doubling trebling quadrupling of Me.

What can happen to You can happen to Me too. Me too that is a good Me-Me that is better than good almost perfect it doubly redoubles Me it is Me plus Me it sounds like two Me’s it is short it is Me-morable it may be made more perfect still by spatial elision capitalization not Me too but MeToo one word instead of two. Yes, this is the Me-Me that will perpetuate Me it is settled it is done it is time to enter the stream to sit back and watch MeToo double treble quadruple Me and more. Yet already it seems this MeToo is following rather than followed it is being swept along pulled in by another a stronger bearing a strange emblem a sign a crosshatch before it. This other MeToo this #MeToo is not perpetuating it is aggregating accumulating all-embracing it is not about Me at all it is about the many so many too many it speaks of monsters of crimes of betrayals so great they cannot be uttered but by saying #MeToo. Half the world is crying out #MeToo and when that is true there can be no place for Me alone.

Me alone yes perhaps the problem lies only with Me. It is no longer feasible that Me should catch on it is too transparent too well-known for its predictability its ubiquity its derivitivitivitivity. There must be another way for Me to become more than Me to double to treble just to double would be enough to perpetuate Myself. Myself yes that may be the key it doubles back on Me but remove the My and retain the Self and there is Me by another name. Let Self equal Me and replace Me and see what follows there is Self-love Self-pleasure Self-care Self-ease Selfies there is all that could be desired by Me only not associated only with Me but with one and all. Yes make Self the beginning and there it is at last the Me-Me that will give Me perpetuity. Self-knowledge. Self-development. Self-growth. Truly this is the beginning of the new Me.
