Whatever Haunts Is Haunted by What It Haunts

If you’re there, you may
Have noticed that we
Often mention you,

Apostrophize you,
That is, address you,
But then, who are you?

We also refer
To ourselves a lot,
Which usually means

Us as language, words,
But can sometime seem
To mean all humans,

Or humans and words
All stuck to the Earth.
What’s going on here?

To the extent you
Are comfortable
Within these—we, you—

Or, in translation,
Their equivalents,
You’re a kind of ghost

Moving within us,
Who are other ghosts
Moving within you.
