We Aren’t for Us

What we’ve learned, what
We’ve really learned,
We can’t rightly
Say for ourselves.

You pour meaning
Into us. Or,
You survey us
And decide, no,

No meaning there,
Not for me, not
Enough, not what
I want to read.

You move on, but
We’re left bereft.
We’ve learned what we
Learn’s not for us.
