easy
originally written 05.01.03

is it as easy as
changing my shirt
with every rise of
the gleaming dawn?
my peaceful slumber
is brought to a halt
by a single burning question:
who do you want to be?

everyday, every moment
you are undeniably
you...but
who you are is just as deniable.
every fraction of every second
is an opportunity
to be reborn
physically, spiritually, mentally.

if i so choose
i could be the person
sitting next to me next week.
i could be the guy
standing behind me tomorrow.
i could be the girl
kneeling before me this coming second.
i will be me in any case.
