Mornings

I wanna read all the books.
I wanna watch all the movies.
I wanna listen to all the music.
I wanna love with all my heart. 

I am receptive and willing to fail.
I am writing, exploring. 
I am headlong to discover.
I am discovery itself. 

I'm between youth and death.
I'm between wars. 
I'm between love.
I'm between addiction and fatherhood.

I am not native to optimism. 
I am not opposed to pessimism. 
I am not a dead doe yet. 
I am not alive either.

I'm my mother's mercy voice.
I'm my father's silence. 
I'm famous simplicities of my existence.
I'm forgotten Florida Robert Frost.

I will self-reconcile.
I will let poetry define me.
I will keep in touch.
I will afford a paradox.
I will disagree with death.
