&quot;if it doesn&rsquo;t come bursting out of you<br /> in spite of everything,<br /> don&rsquo;t do it.<br /> unless it comes unasked out of your<br /> heart and your mind and your mouth<br /> and your gut,<br /> don&rsquo;t do it.&quot;<br /> ~Charles Bukowski

Two young men
They share a body
Made their home
a pool for fat and toxins
A heart beating them both

They share a pair of eyes
Never facing the same way
Seeing all, focusing none
Windows impossible to see into
Souls, bumping shoulders to the nose

From across the bridge
The young men held hands
One looked to jump
The other just held tight
To see who was heavier

Written past midnight on a whim, concerning the division I feel in my life at times.
