My Remix of Working Together (in collaboration with Siera Betts)

While thinking about how I am going to remix this poem, I thought of several different ways to do it. A video, via pictures, an essay, etc. The one I thought would be the coolest and most easiest way to present it to others is by the one I am about to present to you all. :)

We shape our self
to fit this world
and by the world
are shaped again.
The visible
and the invisible
working together
in common cause,
to produce
the miraculous.
I am thinking of the way
the intangible air
passed at speed
round a shaped wing
easily
holds our weight.
So may we, in this life
trust
to those elements
we have yet to see
or imagine,
and look for the true
shape of our own self,
by forming it well
to the great
intangibles about us.

MODERN REMIX OF WORKING TOGETHER BY DAVID WHYTE
-When I read the first line,"We shape our self to fit this world and by the world are shaped again." I analyze it in a way in which we, individuals, are so immune to people being so judgmental and criticizing that we shape/wish to shape ourselves according to society's "expectations of how we should be rather than being the person we were set out to be." In pictures, this looks like:

 

-When reviewing the second line, "The visible and the invisible working together in common cause, to produce the miraculous." I interpreted it as the visible is what we portray on the outside to impress others and the invisible is the person we truly are, the one we hide underneath all of the fake, visible self. A example of this in society is we try so hard to impress others and go on to buy so many materialistic things such as cars, accessories, etc, and most of the time cannot afford it with the budget we have.
       

 don't say much, we ACT."

-When reading the third line, "I am thinking of the way the intangible air passed at speed round a shaped wing easily holds our weight." I interpret this as we are so quick to admire royalty, wealth, popularity, etch that we fail to stop and admire our surroundings that do so much for its inhabitants like us, is very powerful, and has great potential.

 

-Lastly, when attempting to interpret the last few lines "So may we, in this life trust to those elements we have yet to see or imagine, and look for the true shape of our own self, by forming it well to the great intangibles about us," with the modern knowledge I have, I came up with that it relates to we might think we know how we are going to be as an individual in the future, and try to guide ourselves to be a certain kind of person, but sometimes the person we aim to be is someone we are not meant to be and is intangible to us.
