Me or We?

A poem written many years ago that captures the mind-body and depersonalization


Me or We?

 If I were a math expression I’d be


Irrational Number Body

 Perfect Square Mind


A body that acts quite on its own

A mind that can only watch and mourn


Body, the numerator, mere flesh and bone

Irrational number like, a math anomaly

Visible to all, pure absurdity


Mind, the denominator, profound and wise

Perfect square like, just ecstasy

Hidden from sight, pure tragedy


Body just limited by space, movement and time

Mind without boundaries, infinite times


Two seeming identities in one unreasonable body

Perchance, I should be a 'We' and not 'Me.'


I crave the 'Me' and not the 'We'

How do I go from 'We' to 'Me'?
