Descartes does it so well
i do it horribly


Je Pense Donc Je Suis

I am I think...
Therefore
I think I am here.
Or frightfully near.
Or I don't exist...
Therefore neither
Do you
And yet you do
As shown as I think
You affect me.
Let me think awhile
Therefore.
I know!
Let me confuse your mind!
I am thinking I am
Crazy close to you.

Descartes is dead. You're definitely alive!

You are not here!
You are there.
But that is neither here nor there.
Truth be had, you've arrived
The cat is proof!
Don't let her get your tongue:-)

I especially like the playful ending. It comes as a delightful surprise after all the existentialist pondering in the rest of the poem. Nice work, as always.

Reminds me of some thing by the moody blues, threshold of a dream seems to come to mind, either way much enjoyed reading.
