It Should Be

The very best know nothing

of this favorite rite

to be right all the time.

A couple of couples coupled close to me

in their golden years

and were all ears when I asked them

to answer a couple of couple questions

meant to have two answers 

meddled, melded, molded and made

to fit the quested for reasons why

they play so well together,

he said it was to get her,

she said it was to let him get her,

she wanted to be caught by him,

not right away, she told me

in front of him and he pretended

not to hear her say that to me

and that's when I got it,

they both knew that they both knew

and loved that about the other,

who was no longer another

but the very other that made the other

grateful for life itself.
