When I say I
Do I mean you?
I think so
Better, I mean we,
Which is why to write this down
Oh, there’s an aiming for
Catharsis, I suppose
Even the wonderment in sharing
Engagement, interaction
Argument of the classical kind
We are dealing in close matters,
After all
But this can’t be exercise for me
No, not nearly enough
I’d keep it and never let it out
There is or should be a need to catch it
An interest in lifting the glove
I will do what I can
And hope you’ll join me in the yard
Where we can wad this up
Listen to it krinkle
Who knows, there might be have some weight
To throw it like a ball
Certainly,
It shouldn’t stove our fingers
Not for that reason
We can play catch until
It’s time to go inside
Where I’ll write something new
You can, too
I won’t persuade you
We’ll have more to talk about
And more with which to play
