I

Found Poem - The Poet Himself
(Index of first lines from Australian Poetry Now)

I am searching for the deep pool
I am the diver with the metal lung
I have listened to the voices of vision
I have heard
I tried to lay down
I slope with the wind
I have a pen, dip my wand in stardust

I declare myself
I am Adonis
I speak no word of love
I I I I I I I I I I I

When not dotting the i,
Barry Southam spends time spotting the I among poets,
and watching the multiplication of the species as part of his course
Behavioural Studies 101 at the University of NZ.
