Start by giving until
you are hollow.
Hollow is the given
here, the expectation.
You’ll soon be empty
if there’s any good 
in you to give.

Speak as spoken to
and be heard as well;
love it as you are loved,
or oppose it and be
ignored, despised,
or shunned.

(If you are already
the Other,
a role will be
chosen for you.)

As for full membership
and its privileges: of course
it’s open to all
and not hard to achieve —
the hurdles are few and low.
Start anytime.
We will let you know
when you’re finished.

We will let you know.

We’ll let you know.

I promise, we’ll let you know.
