24). We Got Together

modern poetry

We got together;
Said it would be better for us or for people like us;
He came up with that;
Earlier public sides
More modern and individuated,
Indistinguishable and instantly accepted;
How could he carry it in public?
Take out the crowd consensus and add events.
Be less social and leave favorable.
