I

I

by Elizabeth Challinor

I am a capital I

Not like the likes of you: eu, yo, je, ich...

Have you ever wondered why?

Egocentric self importance?

Grammar simply rules?

I am but a simple

i

Alone in the middle of the page

Let me grow and stretch up high

That i might be seen

More than a smudge or smear

Look!

Here am I!
