Thinking in We
I want to drop singular pronouns,
good perhaps for war, rungs on ladders, masterbation.
I want to leave them behind-
they hinder me and create deception; in tricking me that I am one soul.
I want to erase them from that book of words,
since they have no meaning in the hot world of love.
And I want to forget those years; they had in my mind,
and start thinking in we.

You have put out some highly insightful work recently. This one is very quaint in a way. The sacrifice posed in forgetting all the previous years carries much weight. Rather chivalrous.
