These things inside the box
only images.
The parts of my identity
I choose to share: 
The bell that belonged to my great grandmother
who used it to call students in after lunch.
A photo of one of my tattoos;
a memorial to dead relatives.
My brother and I at a Hu concert.
My father and I dressed in Steampunk. 
Me in front of Weta Workshop
during my dream vacation. 
These are me: 
Teacher 
Sister
Daughter 
Niece
Traveler
Geek
There are more versions of me, 
but I’ll keep those close
for today.
