Appropriate, with all the introspection flying around lately...

I've always found this very innocent and touching (and funny, and right now, appropriate). It's by Richard Hoffman. Hope you like it.

BIVALVE

I'm an ignorant bivalve.
In my shell I hide.
I don't go out much.
It's dark here inside.

I could be an oyster.
I could be a clam.
I can't see a thing.
I don't know what I am.

I could be a scallop.
I could be a mussel.
My name could be Alice,
or Alex, or Russell.

I might be an oyster
possessed of a pearl.
I think I'm a boy but
I could be a girl.

I sit here a wordless
Tongue in a mouth
While the tide rolls me North,
While the tide rolls me South.

Yeah, going with the flow sounds wonderful. But, I always fight the current. I have to know!:)
