this is me

who am i

a poetaster

who does not particularly like words

whose vocabulary is not impressively large

whose reading record is not classically stated

who am i

a mosaic maker

who sees a puzzle in the picture

while others glimpse a peripheral angle

i am a mind

who detects patterns

patterns in words

patterns in nature

patterns in music

patterns in problems

patterns in games

patterns in systems

patterns in behavior

patterns in writing

patterns in creation

patterns in mindprints

patterns to bring down

patterns to build up

patterns in walls

patterns in ceilings

patterns in numbers

patterns in colors

patterns in fonts

patterns in speech

sometimes even

patterns

in

chaos

and in our world today

patterns are

viewed as irrelevant

misuunderstood

inconvenient

and untimely

and so these patterns

are much more easily digestible

as symptoms
