We Are Not the World

Why aren’t you concentrating? You ask.

Why aren’t you listening to me?

I’m sorry, I reply – I’m too busy

thinking about the world.

But we are not the world! You say.

The world is out there. And I am here.

In here. With you.

                               I hold you close.

Through tears, I hold you close.

The world is out there. And here we are.

A world within a world.
