You see me
Thus I am

.
You see me
Thus I am
(I am)

(I am)

For all my scars
I live and learn
Forgiven when my vision blurs
Could never be ambivalent
When firing on all cylinders
Unfrivolous with words
For they are given us to verse the sink or swim in us preferred
When life embitters us recurred

.
Beginningless
Unending
Thus precipitous
Ascending
I swear blind
I’m not pretending
Not a single word left pending
.

You see me
Thus I am
(I am)
(I am)

(I am)

I’m the man who fell to earth
This unplanned curse
Returned as blessing
Undeterred by second guessing
Where the pathway turns
Have a heart
Which halfway hurts
Yet ever convalescing
For when my skin restricts zen
I am swift then to undress it

Beginningless
Unending
Thus precipitous
Ascending
I swear blind
I’m not pretending
Not a single word left pending

You see me
Thus I am
(I am)

I’m the man who fell to earth
A gentleman
For what it’s worth
I have a heart
Which halfway hurts
Depending where the path may turn

Blessèd be necessity to better glean identity
Brave each wild presented me
To rise up exponentially

Take life to extremity
Then one day die contentedly
Take life to extremity
Then one day die contentedly

Take life to extremity
Then one day die contentedly
Trust that I will fly again eventually

.
Either way
Shall e’er remain
The gentleman
My testament to find some kind of measurement for entropy
Rely on what makes sense to me
The transference of energy
That prized as extrasensory
Recyclable accessory

Per ardua ad astra
That is Latin for the stars reached through adversity
Forgive me my perversity
Beginningless
Unending
Thus precipitous
Ascending
And transferrably

I’m just a man who fell to earth
For what it’s worth
One version

I’m just a man who fell to earth
For what it’s worth
One version
I’m just a man who fell to earth
For what it’s worth
One version of eternity
(You see me

Thus I am)

Science fiction’s my addiction
My diction defies description
No restrictions
No evictions
Owed to no known jurisdiction
Pure as snow
In focus
Driven
Spanish eyes of inquisition
In position
Inhibitions frittered as I’m swift to quit them

Blessèd be necessity to better glean identity
Brave each wild presented me
To rise up exponentially
Take life to extremity
Then one day die contentedly
Trust that I will fly again eventually

I’m the man who fell to earth
A gentleman
For what it’s worth
Have a heart
Which halfway hurts
Depending where the path may turn

I’m the man who fell to earth

For what it’s worth
One version of eternity

I’m the man who fell to earth
A gentleman
For what it’s worth
Can see things clearly when they blur

And hold all dear

Who hear these words

I’m the man who fell to earth

Forgive me my perversity
