these two fellas
I hold as close friends
who I will never introduce
one to the other
hanging out opposite ends
of most things in life
I’m sure if they met
some function wedding thing
they’d nod polite
then move away quick
yet me in the middle
I think they are so alike
similar sense of humour
taking life as quite the joke
but that politics thing
takes away the energy
crucifies the middle ground
which is why I’ll never
get them to meet up
each would demand allegiance
for their causes
would burn me down
without a murmur
a sound
