“Look at me, I am fly!”
“Can’t you see, there’s no mistake in me?”
“I am the future to come, to be!”
When I smile and say hi,
I’ve begun to make a new history:
There’s no make believe in me,
Inside my frame—beautiful, that’s me!
My heart pump with rich blood,
My hair black—coil; skin smooth,
like a mullein plant:
my gene great, from the offspring
of a higher intelligence:
“I am multi-mega—wealthy!’
My presence is love:
“Regrets, oh no, not me!”
“Who am I?” “Not a machine!”
“I am the significant, important;
“Brilliant human—that’s me!”
