Do you remember how to teach? Good, the students are waiting.

Other people are thinking like you. They've borrowed 
their way of speaking from someone else, too. These words
are their words. Apostrophe, possessive of myself,
I bargain and feel free. 

I met a man who made me think I alone was one;
became headless dame and lost the words to say
there is no "I," there is no "they."

I met the whole world and it is a woman
five states away, reading her friend's new book
over the kitchen table while the pizza is still cooling.
