For 200 years I've been enslaved by your fears
Shallow blemishes colors not representative
Bonded now freed
Slavery tears
Featured conveyances can't get used to this
Freedom's here
Freedom's here
As I look all around me now
As the people cheer
Freedom's here
2/9/29
written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
I, henceforth, known as the respirer, do
solemnly swear hereafter, to take you in,
in sufficient quantities to ensure
continuation of the flesh's animation.
I additionally, do accede my heretofore,
essential need of your estimable service,
and express my desire to continue our
mutually beneficial, ok, parasitic, relationship
Being, as you are, substantive to well-being,
I wish to publicly, and, without reservation,
acknowledge, my sincere admiration for your
valuable and well known qualities
By any and all conveyances available to stated
respirer, procurement of your services is
to be distributed to every cell of said being
equitably and on an as needed basis until
such time as service is no longer necessitated
I, the aforementioned respirer, do in earnest,
testify to my intent and necessity for
a continual contractual relationship, with you
In short, you breathe life into mine

My epiphany is the thoughts that I have endlessly.
Each day I write and allow my muse to flow outward.
Thoughts that reach down into my soul for words,
Words that my fingers type, from no thought at all,
I allow my mind to control only hurtful conveyances.
I allow the muse that found me true freedom to inscribe.
We may be one in the form of identity at special times.
Though we are truly different in this, we call humanity.
I am of course male with coarse and rough idealism.
She is of course female, with delicate, deliberate ways.
Together we are my epiphany, which keeps me sane.
Together we are a mixture that sees so many things.
Separate we are nothing except for identities searching.
For avenues to release our thoughts in realities exchange,
Therefore, this is my epiphany along with a mixture of effects.
