ii

there is no
people  
  
there's only the  
i  
   
sometimes it is mistaken    
for a collective    
when  
in company  
   
perhaps  
the Roman numeral    
representing the two  
the only perfect rendering  
both literally    
and figuratively  
   
there is no  
people  
   
there's planets though  
the heavenly bodies
 
orbits    
sadly    
have locked them in  
   
satellites    
can only dream    
and run around  
day and night  
   
there is no people  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
                                     .
