Developing an internet presence, or a presence alone

So this is the inception of my projected spirit,
although i think i will leave the lines below just
to clarify that the beginning came before I was
of age to pass by the town-gates.
Not that I am of age now, but again from shadowy
types to truth one must travel, or one is told these
things as a shadow in itself covered in sinewy-seeming
verse or verbiage -
but I have passed the gates nonetheless, and doubt
now can only prolong the already long human youth
to an unnatural span; better to man the stocks
than to believe a mortal truth.

Or so it might seem, depending on the nightly read.
Good God or Bad It still goes right to the head,
avoiding the brain-function proud
imposing humility beyond noun.
