[brick] - I Am

I am
.
.
I am the one shoe by the side of the road.
I am where the time went.
I am the month early first tree for a thousand valley acres to turn
     and I turn a red that shatters crystal.
I am the sound of one hand clapping.
I am the word that sits on your lovers lips and rhymes with chocolate.
I am a hypothetical answer.
I am whim, juke, and jink.
I am flimmer.
I am a fried brains sandwich.
I am the last bite of ice cream and the bottom of the cone.
I am the evil sonofabitch that invented the snooze button.
I am the boy you kissed, the girls you list.
I am that idiot in front of you going the posted legal limit.
I am the letters that didn't fade.
I am an onion eaten like an apple.
I am change for a twenty after handing that patronizing prick a ten.
I am the penalty for removing the tag.
I am how you know.
I am right on the tip of your tongue.
I am where you left your keys.
I am the reason for deja vu.
I am the motion only the cat can see.
I am late, but you'll wait.
I am surface tension.
I am what you see when you pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
I am the first words you ever wished you'd said but didn't, none of the
     ones that followed.
I am ten, nine, eight, seven, six and five is eleven.
