He and She
June 7, 2013
The boy was born athletic.
The girl was born poetic.
He trained to excel at sports.
People called her a dork.
Generalized when school began,
never allowed to stand hand in hand.
His friends called him excellent.
Her friends called her intelligent.
At the end of the year
they found careers.
He loved the adrenaline.
She loved studying medicine.
The boy became a professional.
The girl became a professor.
He made a goal.
She discovered a black hole.
Now he is famous.
She is faceless.
