I am a simple man
caught in an interval
of history, and thinking
back and thinking forward,
and living in the space
between what made me so
and formed the world thus
and what shapes world to come;
and then imagining what will
pass when I am gone to the
ground from whence I came.
I am a man of contradictions;
wanting the sky and the space
beyond and yet given to be
the tasty food of worms.
