You

Have you noticed that "you" is not always singular?

You undoubtedly have.

It is plural some of the time, many times.

Always plural grammatically.

But here, we are talking about semantics, not grammar.

So you -- yes, you -- are one and many.

You know you are part you and part many others

Who have shaped you.

And whom you have shaped.

So you, not I.

And not we, because we cannot be singular.

Singular and plural, that's you.

You!!

(But God, you is not.)
