If I am too quiet
you'll think me passive,
easy mark, a little dull
around the edges, but oh
so nice, nice, nice…
If I am on (animated) stage
you'll think me unladylike
too quick to eat your pudding,
a wave maker, a tidal storm
without (tableset) protocol…
And, none (all) of these Are me
yet moreso, what you see
(like the blind men and the
elephant) is more the mirror
of your own bias than a
reflection of me
Don't tell me I'm not an earthmover
I've been known to quake so strong
no meter can measure.
I've been known to know so much
only a simple question is required.
I've beaten the speed of sound, of light
in fireworks of synapses so
blinding fast that I've proven
Einstein's time is indeed elastic.
There are no boundaries internal
beyond the constrictions
externally perceived and it's
somebody else (not me, not
me) playing with that snake.
And, before I stood up to read this,
you drew a different picture of me.
But, I know who I am
and that
I know I know
is all
I need
to be.
