Unidentifiable

If, in fact, I'm feeling so abjectly anonymous tonight,

What, I wonder, could eternity possibly hold for me,

Portend for my endless futurity,

When I'll be forced to spend the rest of my destiny silenced,

Especially if I die before my soul is immaculately born?

 

Thank God I don't, won't, and never will know.

After all, how could you expect a renegade poet like me

To own up to who he isn't,

Confess that his anonymity has something to do with him,

That his reclusiveness could be a sign of divinity,

 

An attribute to be blessed, not rebuked, reviled,

A gift to be worshiped, not rejected?

Indeed, that I'm totally unidentifiable, even to myself,

Might be a sure sign that all the stars are aligned

And that by tomorrow, I'll have lowered death into my grave.
