Seems Appropriate to Me

No longer have I the need for wheels to get me

where I’m going. In my time, I have come so

far I find that I have exceeded the measured

limitations of distance and speed. I have come

so far now that select words will carry me most

handily to where I’m going, words not picked

from some acclaimed academic literacy, but those

best suited to endure beyond the volumes of paper

thin mortality, prepositional words, pronouns of

a personal kind which can be inserted liberally

between linguistics of a different kind. Hear what I

say, see what I write, that which thoughtfully comes

to mind. What appeals to me is the simplicity and

diversity of the key words, you and I. In applying the

two of us linked side by side, united and driven by

our universal commonality, we have somehow

managed to come so far. Beyond the limits of

distance and speed, I no longer find the need for

wheels to carry me over the finish line—Simply

and most appropriately it seems to me, you and

I will do. That is, of course, if you are willing to
meet me somewhere in the middle.
