Whatever Would Robert Have Said?

I AM the suck of air you take that you've had many times before;

I AM the blow of air you fake, but which still throws you out the door;

I AM the air that fills your lungs, but leaves you emptier than below;

I AM the void that you can't explain, but which is where you want to go;

I AM the love you try to hide, but which all can understand;

I AM the hate you still deny, though the blood is on your hands;

I AM the peace you're searching for, but you know you'll never find;

I AM the pain you can't endure, but which tingles in your mind.

Flame sucks between the balls of steel;

nothing moves, the air itself congeals.....

Look at the flame if you want to,

hear the sharp crack of the fission,

smell the brief vapour of ozone,

feel static motion!

I AM the joy you really pay for, but which comes completely free;

I AM YOUR GOD ON THE FINAL DAY

for the truth is you are me.
