A duel in name only

[Robin B. Lipinski]

A baby screams showing the world the same,
name not blinded by gender, color, space.

Why then do we hide behind what the rest of the world sees?

Still a baby in mind,
winds of thought squalling,
is it in vain?

Put your X on the dotted line,
tell us now,
your name.

[Robin B. Lipinski]

I'll take that challenge,
Robin is a name,
a bird in the sky,
a girl,
a guy,
street slang for stealing, or robbing,
for me, my name.

What, that name is taken?
I see.
I'll just pick another from another life,
Mmmm,
Jane?

[Robin B. Lipinski]

You want a name in a name meaning something from a game,
life distorted,
a mess of perfection randomly showing an epoch.

Dinosaurs had names after-the-fact,
Bessy the cow the same,
one is oil,
one is delicious,
humans running things now.

Run and hide now children, there is nothing to see,
just leave your mark for the next species to see,
one coming from the stars,
very, very, different than Robin or Jane.

[Robin B. Lipinski]

foolish human...
"fooling whom?"
yes, that is who you are.

"who we are? do you really know who we are?"

a Creator baking pie
rising yeast boiling with potential
evolving with conditions
creating the ingredients
adjusting the oven
waiting for the feast.

[Robin B. Lipinski]

you got a screw loose
vibrating mass of goo
oozing
smoozing
cruising through your conviction
trying to prove...

"Oh yeah? Well let me tell you what..."

See? There you go again.

Nameless nemesis noting nothing of importance,
random babble of existence
pretending
portraying with words your real worth.

"I, I, I, will beat you, you foolish, foolish...What the hell are you?"

[Robin B. Lipinski]

nemesis demon remaining nameless, foundering mind full
walking the path of stalking,
winding,
twisting,
vision of mind...

"Wait, a split, one becomes two becomes four becomes eight..."

Now you're getting it straight,
line uninterrupted,
circle complete,
a new me.
