They ask why; why are you not jovial?
Alone, pensive, and distant
They ask why; why are you so banal?
Small, shallow, and trite
Their wills live on parallel universes
Governed by rules disparate and diverging
Unbeknownst to them the gulf widens
Like the parting of the sea, only to come
Together at last up on the awakening
On the emotional journey bridging the divide
The essence of completion in the co-joining
Of the complementary universes; through time warps.
