Society is You and Me

August 24, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

I was away from August 7th to August 19th, so for this theme the poems have been divided as follows: The first two poems appeared on August 5th and 6th; the last five poems will appear from August 21st through August 25th. The theme for this divided week is social issues

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical number poem about the communal nature of the self:

Society is you and me.
Everyone's a piece of they.
Very much of what we do
Ends up as words that others say.
No I exists except as we,
Though he and she are part of you;
Each pronoun's only partly true,
Each life becomes another's way.
No one alone can simply be.
