Who am I what am I meant to be Such wild things of course That part of me is nature but What am I meant to be I could pretend to be things that wander wither and die Or the things that see and are alive I sit alone with leafs falling upon me Some red some orange some even black Would I want to be a leaf I sit on grass and wonder Why grass yellows wilts and dies Then come summer and is alive Would I want to be the grass A tree a tree maybe It does not die nor does it see Would I want to be a tree An animal maybe a wolf or a coyote Would I like to be a bird A red robin or a black bird I can pretend to be almost any thing But what am I a wanderer a pretender A human a beast a flower with out a bloom Or am I just a pretender That can be almost anything Then I know just what I am I am the pretender of the land
