I like the opening - we all have it wrong - it pulls you in and it's probably true for many people within different parts of their life. I like how you talk about instinct, because that feeds well in to opening, as we instinctually seem to know what you're talking about in our own minds. Interesting how the poem positions the reader as both alone and together, the ambiguity sits nicely and it's nice that just the poet, or reader, is given the inside smirk, or nod, to knowing something more than the crowd - but if it's all a charade anyway, perhaps this doesn't matter. It certainly got me thinking!
