I Think Therefore I Am
do I think
or am I just a parrot
barking back ideas
someone spoke in my ear
I’m the lady with a big bum
A man offered quite a sum
Of money to play
With my bum he’d pay
Until I reached out to his mum
Those sum of things they just add up! Subtracting them they become missing?

WHAT IS THE SUM?
one plus one plus one
one plus one plus one is six
what's the sum of it?

If language a bullet,
the pen is my gun
Its wound self inflicted,
—the verse zero-sum
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)
.
but them ewe
better be black
To fight a war
you cannot win…
what are you to do?
As missiles fly
and billions die
—the blame belongs to who?
(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
phrasing can...
free
excess words...
from a
mental reflection...
that frames
a summation of...
thoughts wrt
all senses at once...
stan sand
together we are nothing but one ~ apart everything except one
even if finally undone ~ we still ain’t finished before we’re done
By David Kavanagh
sitting on the curb
waiting for a call
pondering the passing faces
with each a dream
a hope
a horror
a story like none other
and I decide
all are one at sum level
The Mountain
looms
and calls your name
To glory
or
perdition
Its summit
has a thousand
fathers
Whose abyss
awaits
— the orphan
(Beartooth Pass: August, 2025)
Unkind thoughts and deeds tallied
Demerit points implicitly accrued throughout a lifetime
Belated guilt at heaven’s gate

Jehovah God Almighty
He put me on
the write
planet
*Sunday'z Testimony ;)
Set me free, caged up mind.
I plead and ponder then rewind.
Thoughts play over and over.
Past, present, and future waver.
The sum of life is up to me.
Choose to surrender, I believe.
I'm sum rare kind of diamond
sitting in a window
waiting to be touched.
Waiting for someone
to steal my breath away.
Free me from this emptiness.
I am not flawless.
I need love
I wonder...
if that known
were but a dream
and that unknown
were real,
do I exist?
or...
if that known
does not exist
and that unknown
ceases existence
upon becoming known,
can I exist?

I am the ancient
All of Them
having left all of you
each one of them,
7 ol' Kin...
came to Rumi within
and so now
we are all one again
Itz a
;D8a sum day
Something in your eyes
Gives me butterflies +
Something in your smile
Makes me stay awhile +
Something in your voice
Makes my heart rejoice =
Some things in a someone
I love them all and then some
An Asian pilot died in a plane crash
His name, “Sum Ting Wong” he yelled as he splashed
Drank too much water and choked
Practicing the backstroke
Sank to the bottom yelling, “I'm shrinking” in fact
What if the great Rene Descartes,
Renaissance man of many parts.
for all his fame and coruscation
is nothing but a fine creation
of my own imagination?
Philosophically disabused.
I think therefore I am
confused.
The words come as brothers,
their sister a song
With mother a feeling,
and father headstrong
Relation internal,
all melding as one
Each needing the other,
—a lyrical sum
(Train From New Hampshire: May,2017)
She turns just in time
Eyes flash...pick-up truck explodes
(Ole' Johnny gets his!)
Sue kneels at her cross
(Scarred with that obscene comment)
Look out!! Here she comes!!
***Happy Halloween to "C.R." (My movie-buff-buddy!)
A richness of words
my legacy foretells
New questions to reason
old mysteries dispelled
No breaths taken lightly
or lines left undone
No memory forsaken
last verse—zero sum
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
The chances I take
transfigure my brain
The harm and the risk
metaphysically the same
They rush through my spirit
all fear on the run
Transformation now total
—the cost zero-sum
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
Low number 0 nothing here ;
Sum things added illuminate the runs;
Circle All around Me;
Gathering sums one plus one minus 2 = 0,
+1 and 2 equals three;
