I like to pretend
I know who I am
I like to place myself
Within the confines of words like:
Domestic
Simplistic
and Practical

I like to look
For new words
To lock myself further within
The confines of
The Lincoln Log house of
Verbal contract

I like to pretend
I know who I am
But I don't
And neither do you
