The Genesis Of Me Poem by Rob Knetsch

THIS JOURNEY
pushed by the current
going with the flow
first at the gate

THIS CONCEPTION
meeting and connecting
primary fusion
two become one

THIS ZYGOTE
growing by division
bigger, bigger, more
beating heart, breathing lungs

THIS DELIVERY
ready, for now
pushed through the tunnel
toward the light

THIS LIFE ALIVE
first light
first cry
first touch

THIS HUMAN STATE
when, what was my first thought?
when, what was my first memory?
when did i become me?
why am i me?
