not unique but one of a kind.
gregarious vicarious-
I contain multitudes.
neuronic divisions multiplied
-the world finds me, its radial point.
i am Expandable
the cosmos Collapsible.
I am nothing,
a particle in flux.
a vitrescent mould
-I can magnify.
I have the powers of flesh, sweat and blood.
Striding through sliding headlights
I am auto-mobile.
I am the sole check on original energy.
I hold all solutions,
I am autonomous.
I forgive all transgressors.
I celebrate and sing my place.
Author notes
About the paradox that rests between humility and solipsism, and the attempt to reconcile the two modes of being.
Inspired by Walt Whitman's poem of the same name, and a rainy walk home from the supermarket.

Hi. Welcome to AllPoetry.
I find this to be a very enjoyable poem, although I agree with the other comment that for some people the language you used may make it a little difficult to understand. personally I found it beautiful and very enjoyable to read.
