I Know Who I Am

I know who I am. I’ve got a problem, I’m not ordinary. I see things that are transparent. And I never clap with the rest. I know there are ghosts everywhere. Some are real and some man-made. If it’s funny I will laugh, if it’s not I won’t pretend. I’m not here to make Up the numbers, I’m not a statistic. I know nothing bad will happen and I’m not naive enough to be a sensation. I think I’ve done something, that’s more than the average Joe. I don’t sleep-walk. I’m conscious every waking moment. I can smell a lie. I’m special, perceptive. A knowledgeable idiot, alive. Are you? David Cox 08/02/21
