There Is No I In Me

there is no I in me

anyway not today

not tonight

I kindly remind myself

make up your mind 

it is one or

the other

like the river

or the sea

like the you

flowing in me

and the I

is not the eye

that misses too much

of what it sees

not the two

in too

it is the rhymeless I

missing fresh bits of myself

like chips off a china elf

it is the guess

the quest

in questions 

never raised

ever searching

not in the I 

or me

only 

the 

be
