I am

I am the broken voice
I am the disheveled old man
I am the black fur squirrel
searching for food

I am the homeless
I am the raped woman
I am the beautiful daughter
I am the disheartened couple

I am the rose that is blooming
I am the cracked sidewalk
I am the long haired hippy
I am the washboard being scrapped

I am the blood on the floor
I am the water in the glass
I am the electricity and fire
I am the siren in the distance

I am that I am
