Yup or nope?🤔

   Doing It All

I’m doing it all:
Publishing, editing,
Righting the meter,
Developing theme
Which I may or not rhyme:

To modify, reappraise,
Scanning with laser eyes
Hours, days, weeks…
Because I often tinker, I, thinker, re-thinker,
With no one to help;
I, the pulp, flesh and bones,
The one going it on my own
Out of conviction.
Aspiring and prodding,
From something I posit
A living supposéd
And let us say,
God.

Codicil:
In each of the instances writing this poem,
Perhaps not “alone” and deprived of assistance
Since I’m the one citing someone
As my cicerone.
Maybe I’m not the one doing it all.
