outside beyond myself

             from the outside looking in
             from the outside looking in
             we are from the outside
             we are from the
out        s
             i
            d
            e          looking in we are
             from the                               out-
             side looking


                                (in:)
             We are looking at every-yous
             thinking we are seeing all of you
             and judging, criticizing,
             summing you up
             but we do not see your
             love for yourself your
             pity for yourself your
             inner selfish self,

             We do not understand yous
             and we are probably biased
             and we are probably misreading
             Yous have better intentions
             and greater (unseen) sufferings
             Yous have golden hearts
             and (many) black secrets
             Yous are deeper than that,

             Yous have (complex) character
             We have flawed perspective;

             We are all, after all, from the
outside

             looking in.



this is a wall. this is a wall. this is a wall. this is a wall.

             and here stands the (universal) me, you.
