Today, I Give

If I had an eternity
I might spend my time trying to imitate you-
to push you over with yourself
then after I succeeded to hate you

I could go back to being me again
but I don't have the time for you-
to stop to create a mirror to show
what it was I always knew.

So this will be the last of it
because I have not an eternity of living
and I wish to live the rest in peace
and for those who deserve my giving.
