Here I Am
Dusting off myself like a book
Drawn from a case of others.
Who will I be today?
Shall my cover be an athlete
- as I run to win the prize ?
Or shall my cover be a musician
- as I quit my other profession to
engulf my hearers with sound from
my heart plucked.
Even better, my cover be myself
- as I attempt to beacon me
Though it is but a trifle to some
It seems to beat all the other covers combined.
