"Present!"

It's a lackluster answer (1) to simple life question,

Born of impending need, a weird form—

i.e. meaning myself;

Surely life is no competition but the stage lights
	Reverberates all the promising contenders

prompting the true law
and order of things

Backwards towards
a beginning
Inside resides
