In the morning I shall be a poet
and reflect metaphors like moonlight
off the ocean in the mirror's iris.

In the afternoon, they will call me a scholar.
I will twirl the string between quantum and metaphysics
on the horsetails of Darwin's flowerbed.

By eventide, I will be a cynic.
I will begin to wonder why, but more importantly
why the hell I'm writing this shit, anyway.

Come nightfall, I am a whore.
The smell of the pillow will remind me of something distant
and nostalgic, and it will be my metaphor for the verdant morning.
