In Becoming
October 25, 2009
He jumps in
Mind first
Throwing every caution to the wind
For the one chance to soar
Every moment in his existence
Tingling with excitement
Nerves twitching and on end
Memories pounding through his veins
Blood streaming from one plane
To the next
In this one exuberant moment
Of desperate realization
Thinking in a brilliant flash
Of magenta
That this is who he is.
Who he wants to be.
All that he ever hoped to become.
In this singular second
