Who am I ?


    I don't think I can remember a time in my life,
 when I didn't feel
like my physical being was put here
  at the "wrong " time, and in the wrong place.
I've always felt a very strong affinity
  with the Great Plains Indians of the Wild West.
Like maybe in another time,
  I was a great Indian warrior chief,
or at least the son of one.
Too many Saturday morning cowboy movies in the mid 50's
 with my "Grandpa Mac"? Maybe.
I never wanted to be a fucking cowboy though.
  Let's face it, Rex Trailer was a pussy.
 Geronimo ... was a bad-ass!
   For as long as I can remember,
I always felt like I was out of place ...
  on the outside looking in ...
misplaced, displaced, disenchanted and disaffected.
  Searching my soul, and searching for my soul.
Always looking for something
 to "connect" to,
 identify with,
 or be part of. 
A reason to believe, a reason to belong. 
  I soooo miss ...
the isolated but limitless boundaries 
 of the imagination of my youth ...y'know?

Thanks, Tempy. I always appreciate your comments!

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
