During the night…

Monday 4th January 2021

…it loomed upon me with that completeness only known in the delirium of half sleep. I came to a kind of consciousness with the idea square and fully formed, a definite shape. Why had I never thought of it before? Identify as non-species. Not non-binary. Non-species. Obvious. Throw off the narrow confines. I never asked to be boxed up as a human species member. So now I’m throwing all that off. I’m identifying as non-species. People assume that I will be something else instead, such as a blob or a plankton. That’s not the point. The point is to be of no species whatsoever, except perhaps a person without organs.
