we were but could not have been because there was no were or was because there was only is
third person singular present indicative
but not singular because we were we but there was no we because there was only is
no nouns
and we is a pronoun
and is is an indicative of be
to be
or not
we were
and there were no nouns
or adjectives
is was all

Yes, Reb, "we were" (with plenty of adjectives, though) and "we is" (with plenty of adjectives AND adverbs) LOL
Thank you, friend, for making me think!! Hugs, Ethel
Hey, still wish I could write like you.... but I gotta THINK like you, first!! LOL

The title made me smile... the poem made that fade in pain and understanding. *S*
Ya done good, sweet nephew...
to be
or not
we were
And that past tense can be the hardest phrase to speak. *S*
