i have a proposition
for a preposition
(‘with’ is its name,
‘we’ is the pronoun
oh so hardly used)
(it waves hello in the hall
but says nothing)
hey you, by the chair,
(standing, leaning over
to assist someone at their desk)
my friend says
he wants you.
i enjoy your little dance, you know?
because it’s like a reference point
really puts things in perspective, you know?
(my other friend says
she wants him (but
she has him))
(different pronouns at work here,
but the point is the same)
but i’m happy, i guess.
because this time
the ‘you’ in this poem
is not you
with a capital Y
(which is a proper noun)
