In thinking eclectically,
Am I Greek? Am I Roman?
Am I Islam or Christian?
Can I start again?

In thinking thinking,
Am I okay? Am I stupid?
Am I stubborn, or, undiscovered,
Can I say, I’m okay?

In thinking, unthinking,
Are we real? Am I too
Past to realize,
I’m not okay?

I wonder, when I’m thinking,
“Am I alive?” But, then, -of course I am!
“Am I is!” I blink. Thinking I’m okay.
I’m not a paradigm, I’m again.
