The Words I Never Say

Invisible

I'm a small weed

Under the huge ocean

Does anybody see me?

I'm a grain of sand

In the pregnant belly

Of the mighty sea,

Does anyone care?

I'm a man

With a mouth and a nose

Broad shoulders and a beard

I've got large feet and ten toes

Do you know me?

Beyond the obvious oblivion--

I the weed,

I the sand,

I the man,

Own this olden world

With all its dust

And all its gold
