I
I ran with the fleet footed
only to be left ever so far far behind
I sat with the quick witted
only to find out we are not of the same kind
I prayed with the most religious so devout that only for God had they any time
I am a tent maker
I fiddle as I so please
I am at ease with my maker
He says bless you
every time that I sneeze
I am never at ease with one or many many more
I guess it was that surprise punch to the gut so I am always looking out there for more
I make friends only slowly
But I'm quick to let go
I live where there is found soot on the surface of snow
I have a family but only by blood . My son lives in Boston
My sister died in Orlando
I exist in my nowhere in the middle of my state
Just waiting on circumstance
so someday I can escape
"I am what I am and that's all that I am"
That's what Popeye would be sure to often say
Of course that is considered now to be so passe
If all of the I's in "if" were unbound I think more people would be willing
to stand for their ground
But when the "f" is surrounded by words I think it has people thinking they have fallen down
So I will end now
I really must go
I will get back to you
As sure as the sun
melts the soot on the snow
