I am down here with all the other
tiny, weak things. Sure,
pnce in awhile I pull myself up
to assert something to the air, but oftener
I look for what was lost in the weeds.
I'm small.
I am not at the center of the circle.
I am not part of the ring. Like you,
I am not the core, the dark star
or the lit star.
I take a step. The wind takes a step.
I take a drink.
The earth swallows.
I just live here-like you.

I am an acquired taste, I'm anchovies. Not everyone likes those hairy little things.

I can relate to the feeling

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

I would have to say one thing...
because i know you...you are not small...
you are mighty...
you are great...
and your life has many great things in store for it...
remember i can see the future...
i still loved the poem anyway....
