Can’t see beyond the      
Me/I invocation –       
that collectivity of       
liberal associations       
implying We as equals 
Well there’s at least      
two of us the same       
don’t you agree? Of       
course, for better or       
worse there’s You too
Then there’s He with       
the gruff voice on the       
phone; no, it isn’t a       
threat – We are wise       
to our own best needs 
So when I/Me speaks       
rashly no-one escapes       
fulmination of portentous       
events which must have       
been out of character 
In Your defence We pay       
for docile deference with       
integrity unimpeached;       
everyone gains faith       
when we dance in tune
