To whom it concerns,
I have been living a dream.

I came to the conclusion that evening
When nothing of consequence was said
And also, that evening
When nothing of any real consequence was said.

As such I am changing my mind
And have decided to take it
Somewhere less sarcastic
And although it has been my
Pleasure to know you from this point of view,
I cannot face these day dreams any more, of gas lamps
And quarts of love.

Yours affectionately
(because I’m letting go,
But am terrible at falling,)

Edward Sibley
(A fictional character)

Both

Both: Two seperate entities,
Divided individuals, stuck penultimate to 'one',
Two of the smallest elements,
Seperate by their having personality,
Held apart, by definition,
Knowing they are alone, seeing the other.

Both: Indivisible. Two who cannot be
Divided. Two people held together in a word.
The most intimate semantic space,
Defined in terms of what they share.
