"She is, I am Not" written June 9, 1998

She is all that I am not.
She is all that I hope to be.
She is graceful in her words.
She is graceful in her deeds.

I am electron to her positron.
She is all I came from and go to.
She is my opposite in kind.
She is my equal in being.

In all I am, physical,
She is in mental, muse.
Yes, she is my muse.
The muse that has inhabited.

I am clumsy, she is graceful.
Give me your grace.
Lend me your ear
I only hope that you can hear.

She is what I am not.
Common I am, not her.
Taken by the first to come.
Hope, I can be the first.

To be as she is.
