Who We Are


We are separate.
We are one.

Our separateness
is seductive.

Our oneness
runs deeper.

It takes both
to show us who we are.

Siamese Twins

Blood brothers. joined by
A stump and made public, stared
From daguerreotypes.

Each had different
Wives – go figure! – and children
Cut free to run wild.

Did one sulk and brood
While the other laughed at what
Conjoined thoughts led to?

No wonder crowds lined
Up to have horoscopes read
In pure paradox.

For that must be what
Double identity makes:
Trompe-d’oeil Rorschach shocks.
