These are my words that never existed
whether in prose or in verse
What I wanted to say really consisted
of thoughts and beliefs that’re far much worse

These are my thoughts that never existed
whether in pen or in mind
What I thought, I think, really consisted
of feelings, sensations far more unkind

These are my feelings that never existed
whether alone or with you
What I felt, I feel, really consisted
of doings and actions far more taboo

These are my doings that never existed
whether prepared or ad-lib.
What I wanted to do really consisted
of beliefs and thoughts that’re much more glib

These are my beliefs that never existed
whether in pen or in mind
What I believed, I believe, really consisted
of sensations and feelings far more unkind

These are my sensations that never existed
whether alone or with you
What I sensed, I sense, really consisted
of actions and doings far more taboo

These are my actions that never existed
whether with you or alone
How I wanted to act really consisted
of parts of myself much more unknown

This is myself that never existed
whether now or before
What I was being, really consisted
of nothing and not much more
