Main character of my own life, watching the world go by front seat
"I" spelled with a capital letter in English, I learned it watching cartoons
Why was I given this life?
Why was anyone given life?
Sometimes I catch myself adding flourish and new details
Making it more interesting and magical than it really is
I believe in God because I want to
I want to think there is more than just this
A name in city records that will be damaged by water-leaking ceilings
A name written inside books, already yellowed and ripping pages
I want to be like this lady I heard about one time,
Who wrote her name inside the books she owned
Whose possession helped collectors centuries later identify originals
"_____, her bouk"
I forgot her name but not her
I want to live forever
