Choices You and I May Have Made

Each day there are decisions to make.

The ant, never having slept through the

night, always follows, never hesitates,

knows unquestionably which way to go.

You and I, indeed all of humankind, are

faced with a perplexing dilemma each

morning we rise. Below the surface of

our existence, creatures we cannot see

from our island are perpetually at work

as we contemplate our options trying to

decide which are the appropriate pronouns

to position at the center of our day—you

and me, he, she, it, this and that or perhaps

a select bundling of our preferences into

groups of them and they?

I for one have made my choices for today.

I cannot speak for them or the selections

they may have made. What say you?
