we started out very different people
individual peas in our marriage pod
you: shy, ambushed by life
me: pretending heroic mastery
you: dwelling inside your head
me: swimming in the world\'s waters
until slowly
imperceptibly
time sanded us down
rubbing against one another
our edges smoothed and fitted
we merged
now we are
a work in progress
hard to tell us apart
a human sculpture
made of flesh and blood
and love
