I am

I think therefore I am
I do not think therefore I am not
Seems to be the only logical conclusion
But sometimes, like right now,
I prefer not to think and blank my mind;
But still I am.

Maybe the proverb needs some revision
What determines my being; my existence?
My mind, active or nay, my genes or my lungs?
An endless discussion to be sure!
But I'd like to think
I am because I just, basically, am.
