what would I talk about
if I didn’t have you to write to?
with all your rules and judgments
and pronouncements on the word

who would I be?

what would I think if
I didn’t have a you in my head
to speak to
each day, each second
you watch over me
and criticize the impulses
you screech nasty when I’m down
you soothe soft when I’m up
but always with your voice
I’m scrambling the scale

who would you be
if there was no traitor at the start?
just some observer
a silent witness noticing
my human-ness
somebody nice
calm, easy
non
conflicted

?
