I speak in tongues
because I feel
different each day
and each time;
the mood; the tone;
the remembrance
of Rimbaud,
“Je Suis un autre”
riotously funny
one day
solemn and somber
the next
I guess it can
be perturbing
trying to keep up
with the Joneses
or at least
with the quirky mood swings
and idiosyncrasies
still coming out
one day at a time
but thru eternity
it’s really the same thing
