Economy

I’ll ruin marriages
I’ll bring down dynasties, legacies and faculties,
I’ll crater markets
I’ll open up old wounds.

I’ll make the first department of the “all”
And trade in my singular pronouns
For something much more fitting.

I will recycle all my shame
Into something useful.
I will weave my doubts and fears
Into teachings I can share
Into hugs I can accepts.

I’ll take away the letters
That keep us far apart
“economy”
A tale told to children
To remind them
Of a time
When “I” forgot to we.
