The Shape Shifter

Agreeable yet contrary Friend sometime adversary Willing yet stubborn Ignorant sometimes to learn Rich and poor in a myriad of ways Driven and focused still to laze Answer with contradiction Fact yet fiction Possessed with unseen truth Believing only what it can use Self centered and giving One but fractured living No single thought to remain Even though a familiar refrain Solid yet a quivering mass Moving forward through the past Lost in a moment eternity to last The shape shifter moves in liquid cement Anchored by the foot in the moment Always the same but in constant change Solid logic lost in mental derange Not knowing what he display Thinking himself a molded array The shape shifter exterior so stiff Inside the jelly rests and sits The name of the shape shifter Man, yes man it is
