it is time to get out of bed;
mankind has unmade me but century-
old Ostara cradles my frayed self.
gnarled and frost-rotten,
it hurts to go on but on the season goes.
it is time to dig myself free;
on my deathbed, i lack the will to be
humble. i gave 'til i got. every act
of mine will be etched into millennium,
a transcendence of loose tongues. i say:
i was here. i was there. i want to be
EVERYWHERE.
