Utopia

How would it be
If people met people
And never
Off-loaded —

Their strife
Fears, or grief
Never borrowed
Used — another

To share
Even acknowledge
Their sorrows
Pain, incapacity

Utter and absolute
Bereftness, solitude
Or misery

How would it be
If people met
And never spoke even
About their hopes

Their views, opinions
Beliefs, about how
They, others, anything
Were, could be
Should be

Being — becoming —

Reliant
Sufficient
Unto — in —

Themselves

How would
People
Even meet

People

As — beloved
In caritas —
Celebration

In labour
Love —
Laughter

Reverence
Of their

Unshakeable —

Singularity
