present
one day I was
another day and I will be
am I here today?
Search much as I do
I find some more just like me
yet me
with one fine line evades me
hides me
I search behind bushes
I search against the backdrop
I search among men
I reach across women
I play among children
make a loud sound
or do give a moan
at least lend your hand
and let me bring me here!
