The Sameness of Us (10/2/94)

Pasts that blend
Hearts that bend
I in you
You in me
To escape us is
to escape me
To escape us is
to escape you.

We both give
and we both get
Givers of enormous gifts
Receivers of enormous benefits
Sacrifice of self
in the sameness of us.

This is what it means
To share your life
For time infinite
To be less than one
To be more than two
For you are in me
And I am in you.
