i'm here on a shelf.
i'm shelved on the shelf!
i've never a need to get down off the shelf.

of course, i could just climb down.
that wouldn't be any fun, though.
i have a bit of a game going to see how long i can stay up here.
so far i'm at 57 weeks and 3 days.

it's sunny.
i think i'm gonna go for a walk - down the shelf, of course.
i should get a great view of the neighbouring shelves. 
i'll wave hello to each of their self-shelved shells of a self.

the shells of self, much like myself, are here.
some of them don't realize it, though.
some of them do, but they can't bring themselves to come down.
the rest are just chilling, shelved (by themselves)
