'we and I' timothy r gates, 8/05/2008

'we' and 'I'
a big club
presumption, this is bigotry,
not merely prejudice,
the job of those lacking a certain knowledge,
self awareness,
'we' forget that all of the 'I's'
there is no 'I' without a 'we'
and,
there's no choice as to whose 'I's' are part of the 'we'
so,
nakedness
honesty
screams
to the teams
'there's only one team,
only one race,
only one energy that we're all flowing
in, from, with,'
presumption,
of the 'they' and 'them'
is where I too am 'they' and 'them.'
free to scream,
now that's the naked truth.
the dance i like failing,
often.
Credo.
