He and I
Are oil and water.
He is cigarettes and ravioli;
I am cranberries and ramen.
The great benefactor?
Yes, a factor
But not the end.
Not the root.
I shall never be a beggar.
Hark, calls reality
Indifference is aching for you.
Threatening, forcing.
Beware, or it shall overcome you.
I was never good at chemistry
And what is painting but a solution?
What are we but unstable?
Perhaps we are just allotropes.
