Excerpt from Song of Myself Scene 5 I am necessary. There is value in knowing simply that As I redefine how I please myself Through balancing some chemistry of Morals, ethics, truths and feelings Embracing the essences, vapors, remnants Shadows and lights of those before and Around me. Every moment in time is as perfect as it could possibly be Whether you are ready for that or not There will be more moments To observe, accept, embrace, forget. And once moments have passed Only then can they be molded into What they never were. Christopher J.
