We were caught in a state of intransigence

You and me

Committed to our own vindications

To our own sense of righteousness

Right we are, aren't we?

But then we disagree.

For how can we both be there

If you are not here with me?


You are only there

Jumping free

I only see you there

In that free suspension, flying eternal

Flying, but gone

Never again to talk to

To closely see


And to think you once were

a friend to me!

A friend with whom I could never disagree


And in my meekness, once your meekness

I let you be

To think you are in a state of death

Rooted in my insistence

That we never disagree!


It stifles me, kills me!

To the point where I cannot

Think you as being in death

But rather flying free, flying a lot

Eternally, constantly entrapped in free suspension

Away from me


Oh Jeremy Demure!

Why did you disagree?

Now you're there and I am here

When you were once a friend to me.
