Puzzling Here is ME and there is YOU but you are also ME.
Both of us began as ME and certainly will end as ME.
No one in the world is as important as ME, Africa, America, China, Russia, hungry, well-fed, white, pink, blue or black all ME.
When ME is not looking YOU are not.
When YOU are not looking ME is not.
So here is ME spinning on a globe aware of the air and alive like the sheep in the field who are probably also ME.
