"Greatness Variation"

Langston Hughes has a poem called Dreams and another entitled Dream Variations.  I'm not sure if there is a connection between the two poems.  I'll have to research it.  Nevertheless, the titles came to mind as I was working on this current piece.  The piece below is in response to a previous work of mine called, "Greatness."  Well, here's a variation of my idea of greatness:

Greatness Variation
not always on the right beat
a chord from out of this world
swinging
laughing
dancing 
skipping
cartwheeling
sledding...at thirty LOL!
slipping
sliding
sharps and flats
both treble and bass
dreaming
believing
doing
being
when I allow myself
I'm
GREAT
at being 
ME
