I Changed My Mind

Last time I wrote, I said,

This my last poem

I’m going home,

on a sabbatical

Then,

Oh, radical me!

I lied, didn’t keep my word

You heard?

Inconsistent, but persistent me

Resistant actually to conformity I'll forever and always be

Split me up in a million pieces and I’ll still be center stage

You’ll never change the me in I,

or the heart of the Atom’s nuclei,

no matter how had you try

slice it,

chop it

crop it,

drop it,

or dice it,

I won’t be the same as before

Pin me down,

I’ll spin you around,

open / then close the door,

mess up the sand on your shore, with a wave

because I will always change

You heard?

I lied,

went back on my word

Inconsistent, but persistent me

Resistant actually to conformity I'll forever and always be
