“We” – Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali used to say that this is the shortest poem in the world… He stood at the microphone and turn both hands first to himself, and he’d say “Me”. Then he reverse his gesture toward the audience and say “We”. I’ve always loved this incredibly astute and simple act of his.

That’s my grandson, Liam, in the picture, by the way.
