Sometimes they fit like a glove so complimentary it feels like love Sometimes the gap is too far to span pitting man against man Often it is of things superficial and not of matters crucial Outside discriminations belie inner imitations Too often a difference misconstrued lies at the heart of a needless feud Even differences like night and day are better than an endless gray But differences as a spectrum defines are only extreme at the end of the lines LGR©2/16/12 |

Okay, I think I get it, Lori. When you wrote in the first poem these lines . . . "No one would notice the difference except from a distance far far away" And these lines here in this poem . . . "But differences as a spectrum defines are only extreme at the end of the lines" Both are saying the same thing, that as we merge into the daily grind (more or less) we also merge our personalities to the point where everyone is basically alike. It is only at the far end of the spectrum that differences are observed. I think you are deeper than I am, my friend. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
