The lamb may lie down with the lion, But they will never be as close as this pair Who share the very lines Of their existence, whose overlapping is their raison d'etre How strange and symbiotic the binds That make one disappear Whenever the other is spied. Throw the duck a stare, And the rabbit hops down his hole. Give the rabbit the eye, And the duck waddles off the folio. Say, these could be our mascots, you and I-- I could look at you forever. And never see the two of us together. |
