By Gosh
I could have been born anywhere
to any kind of family
or tribe for that matter.
I could have been adopted
or at least adopted a pen name.
At some point in my life
I've been to Paris.
I could have studied ordinary things there
but I don't want to think about ordinary things
not then, not there, not now.
I would have eventually been influenced by sedatives and surrealism
which would have influenced the beliefs held hostage in my subconsciousness.
I have no doubt I'd end up sitting in a room with a book case
and years would go by
just as I had expected.
By gosh.
