I Am

a moment of idle fancy

as empty as a church at night

lost like a ring at a party

flat as a dutch road

and even if i snot up my cuffs

or flash a big toothy at the world

i will be as forgotten as this poem

You have a great talent to encode so many things in a few lines. I always take me a few reads to decode it all. 'We are' should've been a better title for this poem, I suppose.

My thanks for looking at this, and it is a great honor to be compared with such a good poet.Thanks !

makes me think of emily dickinson's
"i am nobody, who are you?
are you nobody too"
those poor cuffs...

and those churches can be spooky quiet at night...silent prayers.
