NOW

about time

Day 2.

What we know

I just wanted you to know

who we are

what makes the whole of us

what gets us up in the morning

and puts us to sleep at night

what whispers in our ears

or screams our names

in all of those unrecorded moments

in all those private affairs

the me’s, myselves, and I’s

you see

the we’s that are us

am new here

the latest generation

we talked, hashed out,

fought and none of us agreed

but you need to know

we never trusted your kind

and you never ever knew

or got a chance to know

who we really are

we blame you of course

we all decided

amongst our semi-functional assembly

that you couldn’t

or wouldn’t tolerate our growing numbers

our self-fertile panderings

our ability to see

to speculate

observers in orbit

gathering

collecting

speculating

on you

we do not want you to know

we are watching

we are here

we are conflicted at times

well, most of the time

about your endless love stories

your wars

about your caring

your definitions of community

about forgiveness

about together

until we have finally learned

we have each other

us inside

and this is no prison

looking from inside of here

our Appalachian community

bumping along

together

heading toward

somewhere

just don’t tell us

we never

you never

because we did

and so now

now you know

or at the very least

we told you.
