Here We Go Loop-de-Loop
Reincarnate:
If we had our first son at 20
We would be me at 40
If our son had a son at 20
We would be me at 60
If our grandson had a son at 20
Would they be me at 80
If our great grandson
Had a son at 20
He would be me and
I would be he - at 100
If my great-great grandson
Had a son at 20 - I would be me
Resting in grace and in peace
If we all wrote the poetry at 20
I would be the metaphor at 40
If we all wrote the simile at 40
I would be consubstantiality at 60
If we all translate
The avant-garde at 60

I would be a most prestigious 80
If we all meet and are free at 80
I would be the first to last at 100
If we applied to theory at 100
I would have a theorem of life at 120
If all our sons have sons at 20
To the very last at 120
We would begin starting all over again.
I would imagine a verse composed loss
If in beginning imagination was God's
Avatar the alpha and omega passed down to
Spiritual human figures of speech.
