It does seem to be the simplest fact about life as we approach it and try to either dominate or overtake it. The emptiness of this I peers out sometimes from among your lines, and perhaps that is what I am too, an emptiness wanting to be something. Your poem is great simply for the fact that it addresses the existence or not of this I. That it does so with meaningful clarity of voice and self-awareness is that much more marvelous.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522720778738309123.post-42996576330511848372012-03-14T11:41:19.668-04:002012-03-14T11:41:19.668-04:00No small coincidence that the letter "I"...No small coincidence that the letter "I" looks so much like the number "1" ("One" begets "Lone" which begets "Lonely")Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927345716112968689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522720778738309123.post-34886547353908819282012-03-14T04:03:47.071-04:002012-03-14T04:03:47.071-04:00In the cultural aggrandizement of self we've b...In the cultural aggrandizement of self we've become so sotted with, "I" has become the world's capital, the only deity with a capital letter left in its name. "More vow than vowel" - yes, and yet, despite its omnivorous devouring to get to "you" (as you say, impossible), a brooding senex walking its ramparts, defending against the natives, hooding all the windows against the sun. "I" is the true laissez-faire capitalist, winner take all, whiner appalled to know there's one cent it cant' own ("you").
