If knowledge is power, then a god am I.”

-Batman Forever, 1995

I will
Become the one
Who above all else can
Remember

If a god am I
Yes, so it must be
Fallen from the
Canopy of above
The night I can
No longer claim to be bothered by
For I have accepted
That they are I
And I am
Once again

Can you remember?
The life that had once
Fallen through cracks and shutters
Into the sewers?
Do you remember the way
We used to be?

And then there is
This useless abandonment
I cannot claim to abhor
And as always, you know
They think me a fool
To that I say
“Insanity”
“Begins with I”
They think me a fool
Yet I am afraid

It is the knowing
Not the ignorance that usually
Bothers me
Cannot speak without pride
Cannot think without thought
Cannot breathe without air
You see, they go together
In a way, I believe, You and I
Simply cannot.
