questioning the answer

How do you do this?
“It’s so simple”, she says
“Just be yourself.”
As if my ‘self’
is frozen in a bottle
or drawn in perfect dimensions
with a scale and compass.
As if i’m not
the water
that takes the shape
of what it is poured into.
How do you do this?
I ask again, and walk away
without waiting for an answer.
