Background
A description of the experience
John Davidson – from Thirty Bob a Week
And it’s this way that I make it out to be
No fathers, mothers, countries, climates – none;
Not Adam was responsible for me,
Nor society, nor systems, nary one;
A little sleeping seed, I woke – I did, indeed –
A million years before the blooming sun
I woke because I thought the time had come;
Beyond my will there was no other cause;
And everywhere I found myself a home,
Because I chose to be the thing I was;
And in whatever shape of mollusc or of ape
I always went according to the laws.
