Loosening - poem
obsession with self
me me me me me me
it's a me meme mine mine
mine you can see this in the
psyches of kids when they move
into this stage of mine mine mine
mine mine the self, social media,
what do they think about me? am i
loved? wanted? do I belong? have
value? the lust for significance, to
matter, to have mattered, to
reproduce, to survive, to
ensure the survival
of the species
this is what
is at work, so often
at work, can we see it,
we see it, in others and
in ourselves as we
loosen our grip
