Yea
Maybe I am

The short days
And a shorter temper
Or

Maybe I am
a sucker
a servile infant
clearing the scraps of
the undeserved

I guess
I could be
Or
maybe
I am just
gasoline and cash

or at least
I will be

one day.

Maybe I am
a host
a host for life
and that’s all

Or maybe
I am a universe
the
Universe.

Maybe I am
a persistent memory
for few
an empty vessel
to many

Or maybe I am
the diluted pieces
of potential

Maybe I should
have left

that corner

where I was not
alone but not quite
Together

Maybe I am
alive
