I Am
I am Porphyria’s lover
I commissioned the last duchess,
Mutilated Mary Kelly
The horror in the heart of darkness
I am the serpent in the tree,
The one who seduced Eve,
Flew Flight 11
And drank the blood of the black sheep
I am the Kraken roaring forth
From the depths of the sea
I spread human debris
Amongst Lockerbie
Assasinated Kennedy
And shouted “Hey John!”
Invited those who dared
To touch the face of God
And looked down in contempt
When I waved them off
I am the stone that the builder refused
The seed who fell upon the path
The Great Storm of 1913
Elizabeth Bathory’s bath
I am the Black Death
Influenza
and HIV
With the jawbone of an ass
Cleaved the Philistines
From hip to thigh
Mixed the Flavor Aid
And told Mary not to cry
I toppled the walls
Blew the horn on the seventh day
Broke the seventh seal
And commanded the angels to play
