Who Comes First Poem by Rob Knetsch

you could be the bright one
you could be the smart one
you could be the nice one
you could be the tall one

i could be the dim one
i could be the dumb one
i could be the nasty one
i could be the small one

you could be the rich one
you could be the known one
you could be the loved one
you could be the good one

i could be the poor one
i could be the unknown one
i could be the hated one
i could be the bad one

but can you be
are you the right one?
or could i be
am i the wrong one?

for now, right now
all that matters is
who is the first one
are you the first one?
