I wonder what community can be
When what is uncommunal must intrude:
The constant inevitability
Of what cannot be shared can be imbued
With not too unsubstantial danger to
The central jointure. Are the bonds unshared
A further tether to keep shared ones true,
Or do they make the other ones impaired
By stealing their importance? Can we join
And stay still separate, and still survive?
Must a communion share a single coin,
Exchanging nothing else, to stay alive?
Or can it go beyond, in separate ways,
And yet endure within through common stays?
