Hi neighbor, 

I’m Terri(fied).

I used to Be.

Simply, Terri. 

With an “i”.

Now I know

not who I

am. Not 

you, either. 

Always

at uni,

we were 

unified.

Shared

a uni(versal)

verse.

No longer.

I fear you, 

fail to under

stand your

perplexing point 

of view. 

The flag 

you choose

to stretch

across your

lawn 

splits

us 

down the middle.

I miss you, friend.

I fear you.
