They started drifting apart
like two canoes
on a great big ocean
of everyone else.
Neither can tell
who let go first
and neither is willing
to swim to the other.
They used to be
in the same boat,
each with one paddle.
They used to be in sync,
a rhythm all their own.
It’s odd how effortlessly
an inseparable pair
can bud into two individuals
who just don’t care anymore.
