I/You

Brian Protheroe

Me, I am a sallow man
I have no ambition.
When I laugh,
the world laughs with you.

Me, I am a callow man
I have no tradition.
Of me half
and half of you too.

I want to play the banjo
in a rubber band
But when I tell you,
you plummet.
The world is not my oyster,
the pearl's got out of hand.
Play a few bars,
and I'll hum it.

I YOU WE
Do not agree
It's irrefutable.
YOU WE I
See no I to eye
It's reprehensible.
I WE YOU
Say nothing new
Teh, indefensible.

Look in the mirror,
what do you see?
Icy I, Juicy me?
Look again closer,
who can it be?
You see you, I still see me.

You are under thirty
I am thirty-one.
Thirty's dirty
One is fun.
You are all so thrifty
I am all most free.
Thrifty's shifty
Freeze me.

YOU I WE
Can never be
It's undeniable.
WE YOU I
Are whey -- oh why?
Doh, unreliable.

Eyes right
and use wrong
You'm de singer
I'se de song.
Dey's night
and night's cool
I'm a tiller
Eurotool.

You no touch
You know I touch.
Touch is much as
all of us can hope for
I no trust
I know you trust.
Trust is just as
difficult to grope for.

You are one person
One person's the end
The end is the clue
The clue is I
and I is you
I... oh... YOU
