A Me
An antecedent me, a subsequent
and present me, all those me who went
through stones, plants, amoebas, arthropods,
reptilians, arachnids, mammals, men
and women, a reptilian again
as punishment for hubris, even gods -
the small "g" gods. As for the uppercase,
I hope, it won't deny me in its grace:
tu te souviens, mon Dieu, tu m'as promis
qu'un jour...* Long story short: since time begun,
one turns nonstop into the other one
but what they all have shared is a me.
Who's that mysterious me? Have a suggestion?
I guess this verse will help reply to question.
* (fr.) do you remember, God, you promised me that once...
