There Is A Distinction Between You And Me

It is a basic
classic distinction
between you and me
is a big chasm
a black space
they call it a hole
of a doughnut
no one understands it
completely
except myself
that center of understanding
that which accepts us
for what we are
that on the circular edge
of substance and sweetness
chocolate or orange
there is a place i call
i own
that domain of having known
nothing

between me and you
lies my own acceptance of my own
ignorance
that is where i start
my birth
