Is by Aaron Sampson

I breaks on adolescence like split voices
on the crescent of a shadow.

I shivers with the presence of itself
and quivers at the sight. but

I paints pictures on broken mirrors
And smears resolution on one’s eyes. and

I rings with melismatic fervor,
polyphonic and discordant.

I is the monosyllabic white noise to block out We.
I protects us, and allows us to see what we like as reality is Me.

We cannot survive the shifting of atoms.
I can.
we cannot survive the shifting of atoms.
I can.
