Sometimes
Sometimes I'm the runner,
Sometimes I'm the run-down.
Sometimes I'm the snapper,
Sometimes I'm the poor clown.
Sometimes I'm the writer,
Sometimes I'm the written.
Sometimes I'm the biter,
Sometimes I'm the bitten.
Sometimes I'm the poet,
Sometimes I'm pathetic.
Sometimes on my better days,
I think I'm half prophetic.
Sometimes I'm a minor god,
And sometimes I'm a sot.
Sometimes I think I've seen the light,
Sometimes, not.
Oftentimes I'll capture a moment,
Oftentimes it captures me.
Sometimes I'll resolve an
elusive enigma,
Often though, it isn't to be.
Sometimes in my blindness I see
the light,
Sometimes with my ears I hear nothing at all.
Sometimes I can write till the
cows come home,
Sometimes I remember that god-sots can fall.
