i am

i am

i am that one

and i am those two.

these three and four

that rock and roll

and roll the ball.

i ball.

i score.

i snore.

i’m on all four,

all five and all six.

i’m up at seven,

i’m up in heaven,

and i'm late to wait till eight.

i am the one

running in the sun.

i am a child

with a mind that went wild.

i am one of the kind.

i am the one

and i am another.

i am a mother,

her neighbor, his brother,

and that cat’s worst enemy’s best friend.

i am the happy end.

i am a hand to lend.

i am.

⸺

i am a dream.

touch me.

catch me.

i am a wind.

i blow.

feel me.

change me.

i am the cause,

the power,

a flower.

lust me.

trust me.

i am a bird

that you've never heard.

i am the sign,

a story,

a word.

think me.

i am a whale

for a while.

i am a star

not so far.

i am a tear

not that near.

swim in me.

i am love.

imagine me.

find me.

try me.

i am an ice cream.

i scream -

scream me.

see me.

i am an eye.

here's me.

be me.

i am.

⸺

i am on.

and i’m off

somewhere

over the rainbow

over the moon.

i’m now

i’m close

i’m soon.

i’m western bound

in the underground

near lost

and found.

in the promised land

and at land's end

and a dead end

with a friend

with umbrella in my hand.

in even socks

at eastern docks

outside of the box

around the clocks.

im now

and three minutes ahead

not bad

one block behind.

before

and beyond

and betwixt

and between

and be-gone.

and i'm gone.

and i’m on.

i am.
