I am 

Rylee Delaney 

They, myself 

not excluded, thought: 

but surely I am 

  

None,  

not one 

are the “other” 

  

The hurricanes, the 

earthquakes, several feet 

from the other 

  

All lusting, 

a storming desire to 

be the “other” 

  

Together, a collective 

petrified, shy, shying 

from the other 

  

Knowing, it’s possible, 

impossible, to 

be the “other” 

  

They, myself 

not excluded, thought: 

but surely I am
