One Amongst the Many
by Uriel TovarFrom the point of view of that
Jet plane whooshing by I am
Indistinguishable from
The background
Nowhere can you find me
In the lush green landscape of the
Forested mountain
Or can you pick me out from steel beamed
Up-rise or black river paved roads
Even if you were closer I don’t think you
Could point me out in a crowd
Even with my big bald head sticking out of it
Or if you walked past me and brushed up
Against my shoulder could you say that
Is him or he is you
No, I would be just
One amongst the many
And yet
You found me
Or rather
We found each other
Hiding in the haystack or dug deep
Within the clay the analogy doesn’t matter
The point is
And you are correct
Magnets will find each other.

The only way I think it might flow better is if you used capitalization selectively rather than capitalizing every line. |
