Lovers and Lexicons: On Us and We

Because I've come to see what "we" mean, I can truly be me, for the first time as a man. As "we" the two of us own happiness. "We've" got a monopoly on joy; And "we" are as powerful As "you" and "me". Now that I'm not preoccupied by "us" I can focus on me. And now that there isn't an "us" to speak of, You can get to know you. There will always be "us's" and there will always be "we's" For you and others and others and me. "Us's" and "we's" Of you and of me. Of others, of self, and sharing in peace.
