In A Class of Your Own

I was created 
in the image of God, I
Imago Deo

But I am in a 
class of my own, I am a
Mathematical 

set of one, we all 
are a token, Socrates 
or me and yes, you

I am a type, which 
belongs to a class, but still
I am in a class of

My own, the class 
Class identity of me
I think therefore I 

Am (it’s not a good 
Translation from the Latin) 
Cogito Ergo 

Sum, even though it 
begs the question, it is a 
Cartesian set 

Je pense, donc je suis
In French, cogitatio fit
Thinking, occurring 

Would better describe 
this mess, but how would one prove 
somebody’s thinking?

Brainwaves? Synapses? 
So, we are all in a class 
Of our own (imaged)

Philosophically
Personal identity
Is not an option

To a worldview
That is consigned to matter
And motion, no potion

No cerebral bend
Or mental gymnastics can
Account for abstract 

Entities, such as
Identity over time 
In a class its own
