If I become an eagle,
That dines after noon
With stars and moon.
Before I sees people,
Like insects
Remind me, I once ate sand.
If I become the most priced
Commodity;
Bids by big boys of the city.
Before I brag on the
Cheaper goods
Remind me, I was made
Like them.
If I become a manor, possessed by
Men or goddess.
Before I began to bite
People’s attention_
Remind me, I was once
like a paper tiger.
If I become a tree,
That shields the yard
From the invading sun;
Be reminded, how I fought
The beef up breezes
And conquered it.
