I Was Not
I was not
knee-deep in a bog
swinging a blunt cutlass.
I was not
naked and kneeling
before a jungle trellis.
I was not
youthful when young
(never felt summer).
I was not
alive when I lived,
being entombed
between antitheses.
I was not
happy, though this
was happenstance.
I was not
not awaiting a soundless fury
to consume my essence,
when that essence was what
I was not.
