新宿

こども二人と西口で待ち合わせてご飯を食べました。（卒業祝い）
都内に住んでいるけれど、上の子に会うのは半年振りくらい。
元気そうで安心しました。

金子國義　『イルミナシオン』　王女に扮するアリス/森の中へ　（一周忌の画集です）

'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I — I hardly know, sir, just at present — at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. 'Explain yourself!'
'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'
'I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.
'I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, 'for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'
'It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.
'Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; 'but when you have to turn into a chrysalis — you will some day, you know — and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel it a little queer, won't you?'
'Not a bit,' said the Caterpillar.
'Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; 'all I know is, it would feel very queer to me.'
'You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. 'Who are you?'

大きさがくるくる変わってしまったアリスは'Who are you?'と尋ねられて上手く答えられません。
いつか変態する筈なのに、何故か磐石な私を持っているらしい（？）いもむしと　you（me) とか　
yourself　について、言葉尻をとらえ（られ）ながら、<私>について、問答する部分。（言葉遊びです）
