They say we need to
see each other
for this to be real.
I say we need
to feel each other,
and that’s not always physical.

They say we need to
speak the same language,
and we don’t.
I say we speak many,
and it makes us
richer.

They say we need to
make it official,
and build our world together
onwards, once we have.
I say we need to build it,
for ourselves, but not for them,
and on our terms.

They say and we need to
stop listening.
But hey, we never did.
We listened to each other.
We need to show them
how it’s really done.
