Me, but Not
Jerry Landry
01 March 2003

You fool,
You come unprepared.
You're weak, pitiful,
beneath my mighty notice.
I was like you once
when I was but a child.
I quickly learned that
planning was key
to getting everything
you want.

And so the years passed,
full of preparation
and readiness.
Imagine my surprise when
he came along
and showed me what
I hadn't learned,
what I want isn't what I need.

What do you need, shadow of me?
Air? Water? Food?
All of those things are
nothing to me
without his essential love.
