Non-rhotic R

I am John redesigned
to accommodate the needs
of the ever-changing future.

I am John reconditioned
to accept the fate of mortality
without grimace or concern.

I am John repurposed,
I happily occupy the roles
oft relegated to lower castes.

I am John reprogrammed
to not dwell on the revelation
of that last point on repurposing.

I am John rejoicing
that his day might one day come:
that his vainglorious pursuit relents.

I am John reminiscing
of a simpler time, of friends
imagining worlds made of oysters.

I am John recanting
his past imperfections abound,
for the virtue of selflessness.

I am John renewed
by the power in perpetuity
of laughing, learning children.

I'm John.
