You And I Poem by Roger McGough
You And I
I explain quietly. You
hear me shouting. You
try a new tack. I
feel old wounds reopen.
You see both sides. I
see your blinkers. I
am placatory. You
sense a new selfishness.
I am a dove. You
recognize the hawk. You
offer an olive branch. I
feel the thorns.
You bleed. I
see crocodile tears. I
withdraw. You
reel from the impact.
ilike this poem very much because it depicts mis reading and miscommunication among near ones. The different perspectives are aptly described.
I like this very much it shows the contradicting sides of a lovers' spat.
This poem is great. it could describe any argument in a family...
This poem featured on the 1981 Welcome Disk for the BBC Micro. The program displaying this poem did so in a semi-random manner which results in a near continuous version, much longer than the version listed here. Very cool form of poetry.

I first heard this poem last Monday evening. My beloved husband has bipolar type II disorder - at the moment he is a very needy, ill person. Very different from the strong, engaging man our world loves and respects. You and I made me cry - it describes perfectly an enduring love that sometimes goes wrong through no fault of the two individuals.
