lyrics

And then the colors arrived,
numerous colors of quite a few extra-planar rainbows,
all coalescing in a protean impressionist state
on its way to becoming the bounds of local reality.
The colors sprayed around and up and across in construction on a large scale.
Or, it seemed that way to the newly formed Being-Question-Answer,
who felt as though she* was able to truly see and experience for the first time,
as if every time before were a partial illusion:
shadows without light and light without shadow.

*(Yes, she, no longer it, that was definite.
Being and Question were definitely female,
which made Answer’s elusive genderlessness,
or plurality of gender,
entirely and quite steadfastly irrelevant,
as if it were decided upon by a vote
and such an internal abstract decision would be the final say for a while.)

And in this sudden realization of completeness and wholeness,
Being-Question-Answer named herself The Itinerant
and started to bicker with herself.
The half that was Being suggested that they form a personality first
to be ready for the environment as it settled,
so as to not have to worry about it with the absolutely unavoidable onslaught
of overstimulation that was about to come about.
The half that was Question and Answer,
on the other hand,
suggested that the personality should be understood later on,
citing a concept floating in their shared mindspace
having to do with creation of personality as a tool appropriate for the social climate,
and since the social climate was unknown entirely,
it would be completely foolish to jump into a shared personality
that would be unstable at best
and likely would not make any sense with whatever may be forming itself in front of her.*

*(Answer seemed to be content with being generally silent on all matters
but was definitely on the Question half,
assuming this amalgamation properly worked in such a straightforward manner,
which was quite doubtful to all parties involved.)

They did not have enough time, however,
for Being to have her way,
and as such,
The Itinerant was born into the world of the Carousel
with absolutely no personality,
and further,
one would have to be given to her.
She understood this, somehow,
and started to exist as the village that formed around her
pitched and heaved under the currents of emotion emanating from some unknown source,
as well as weaker currents with origin at her feet.
