Swingers Re-revisited

in #poetry7 years ago



 
Walking disasters and hypomanic wonders
Always come in pairs
Displayed for the sake of comparison
Portrayed for the sake of compassion
Differentiated so that the observer
Can ponder on the apparently dual nature
Of a one outcome, single approach deal
Alternate means, the twin frayed ends
Of a seemingly linear if somewhat
Parabolic
Process of natural selection, refinement
Rejection and dejection
Offered on a silver platter as a token of
Servitude
A reflection of the well kept misanthropy
Characterising every unwilling bachelor's
Life
You can see now, clearly, for yourself
That Mickey wants the lot
Not just some easy lay
And that T-Bone will finally end up
Actively living the antipodean lifestyle
His wholly different yet identical twin
Brother from a different mother
Faithful student and livened punching bag
Actively pursues and secretly despises
Being so stubbornly money
