wonder who

by Charlie Morgan

who would i be if i wasn't me,
if i wasn't me, but a pseudonym,
i'd choose two names.

and i'd make it look like French,
which and whom, socialization
has extracted a firm anger towards.

i'd be Goliath the Gargoyle;
perhaps, Zoom the Speed King;
or, Slime the Slippery.

i'm telling you i wouldn't be me.
anyone else, but just not me.
maybe i'd be Whiney and like Dopey
have no beard, just disullisioned.

I have no illusions that I could pretend anyone else. My name will pass into the dust of history not the pages. But I sure can see you there. Good write.
