Everything Changed except our Way of Thinking 

I’m always thinking about how I can find more human beings. Or how I can have a better relationship with a human being.     Why you are you.     And I am I.     And why that should be a problem. It wasn’t when we were young. Until you became more you. And I I. I am sorry. It is a sorrow.    Always has been.    Now we can’t even
let the bees out.
