Member-only story
If they
Knew what you knew
Saw what you saw
Experienced what you experienced
Loved what you loved
Felt what you felt
Heard what you heard
Touched what you touched
Then they
Would do your job
Check your email
Go to your class
Kiss your husband
Wear your clothes
Listen to your music
Sleep on your pillow.
But they don’t,
And as consequence
You start every day
At square one
Rejoining what drifted
Overnight.
Communicating
Convincing
Speaking
Listening
Fighting
Writing
Waiting
Until,
Despite all the differences,
The images of the world which
They see
And you see
