We Wonder if the Revolution

We wonder if the revolution
Brewing within third-person pronouns
Will ever extend to persons in

The first or second grades? Seems, so far,
Every ze/zem, xe/xir, e/em/eir
Self references as I/me—rarely

Do we see a we, usually mocked
As Queen Victoria’s royal we,
Sin to invalidate baptisms

If deployed by a singular priest,
And no one’s bringing thee or thou back,
Victims of the last revolution.

Frankly, we rather dislike ourselves
And would love to have new clothes to wear,
But words are chosen, can’t be choosing.
