Recently I was asked by an online journal for a poem in honour of National Poetry Month. The poem I offered was subsequently published incorrectly (the fourth line was not indented) and efforts to correct it have proven unsuccessful.
Everything moves so fast these days; no one has time to fix that which is considered finished. You would think of all the things worth returning to, a poem would be up there. But no, it seems we are always on to the next thing. Oh well. These are the times.
Here is the poem as I would like it to be considered:
We Can Have Both, But Not All
for Ashok Mathur
let's begin with what we have
we have each other
say it
each other
no, all of it
we have each other
we have each other
all together now
all together now we have each other
