What it Is
No one ever belongs to anyone
But if you will look closely you will see
That everyone belongs to everyone
And what it is is our propinquity
The web of our connections one to one
This is what we feel and I believe is real
Embracing us in shared humanity
(We are so needy we are so greedy but
We know we need each other no matter what
Else we have to know before we have to go)
In the evening of a long life looking back
I can see most of us mean well even though
Our pursuit of plenty underscores our lack
Even though we are all crazy even so
Most of us mean well and only want to be
(Always a happy happenstance
To be on the right side of chance)
Though no one can belong to anyone
And though if you look closely you will see
That everyone belongs to everyone
There are those who keep insisting anyway
Occasionally insisting about me
(Understanding nothing knowing
All incapable of growing)
Giving everything but reason to doubt me
I give everyone my best and you might say
That I am some no one who loves everyone
I have nothing and I give you everything
You are the society of hope I sing
You are the many out of which I am one
And what it is is our propinquity
The web of our connections one to one
This is something dying to be living for
To substitute the both and for the either or
This is what we feel and I believe is real
A human being nonetheless if nothing more
Embracing us in shared humanity
