I can list
all the things I’ll never be
and it would take
pages and pages
even if I only
include the ones I might
actually like.
But the list of things I am
is shorter
(in contrast to my stature
and my fingers
and my word count,
generally speaking)
less spectacular
(pop, fizz, bang, etc
like Chinese wedding
fireworks
or two words side by side
which astonish like…
diplomatic platypus)
quite specific
(a word I like
because it sounds
smarter than it is)
and even monosyllabic
(a word quite
fascinating in how
every syllable
feels emphatic
because i guess
one syllable is
quite punchy).
The Finalised List of the things I am:
Me.
