Analysis of My Spirit Zero-Sum
Am I the Poet that I used to be,
or the Poet of tomorrow
Am I the Poet of this present moment,
to own or then to borrow
Am I the Poet that I used to be,
or the one I will become
Are my words fresh made or from seasons past,
—my spirit zero-sum
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
