Water and Oil Don’t Mix
















Opposites often find each other
black chooses white
hot meshes with cold
and in time they become like each other.

but once in awhile you come across
two elements that don’t mix
no matter how much you stir

The two remain separate there's nothing to do.

Socialize in larger groups so the buffers
give the illusion of getting along
like a dance of separateness in cookies and cakes
but if left to their own properties
water and oil don’t mix.

They agree not to get along
work together in close proximity
but ever retaining separate identities.

Marriage in these circumstances
can look harmonious
no fireworks or passion and very little
interaction: parallel lives

loveless, but not an utter disaster.
