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.
