This; not that

I never thought of myself as weird, 

exceptional, or damaged 

 

I assumed we were all one 

against a suicidally mediocre reality 

 

I never felt so alone as when 

I was intimate with people 

 

who embraced things as they were 

as part of their mental routines 

 

and yet somehow feeling we had 

enjoyed a meeting of the minds
