This is the first stanza, or maybe the whole poem…
It’s not a grammatical error.
It is an existential problem.
How to go on living in the first person
when all your internal dialogue
is written in the third.
I am not a rich white guy
yet here I stand
at the end of a long line of guilt and graft,
hands in my pockets
and an eviction notice nailed to my door.
