Mind's Valentine

In the beginning was the I

And the I was in God

And the I was itself a god

Just as God remembered it

When God was eager and young

And started out good and whole

With a simple sketch of the I

It was the first I in the first mind

Then came the I that mocked the I

For taking itself so seriously

And there was laughter on earth

As in heaven the sound of thunder

And the rain became the flesh

of the I it was the true I
